How did you get on on Sunday? The weather isn't looking fantastic for the next few days, I hope you won't miss out on practice too much...
Yeah had a good night. 4th quickest just short of 110mph
Nearly 111mph for you today, wasn't it?

Coverage is getting better and better every day. I’m loving it. Well worth the £15 and the rackng hasn’t even started yet!

Really hope that whoever came off at Ballygarey is OK. Still no one named which isn’t usually good news.

Doing a very early run down to Brighton tomorrow morning where I might hit an average of 60mph!

Horrible news. Already the Facebook nutterists are calling for it to be banned. I truly hope they never get their way.

Truly sad… but I agree. The riders are there knowing the risks. RIP frown

The TT is like no other sport for amazing highs and truly awful lows.

Fatalities are why I take little interest in the TT, I get it, I get the challenge but for nigh on 30 years I have always hated this week for no other reason than young men dying trying to push a limit that is often beyond them.

It is just so sad, but like many of these things there are those that think it's the bees knees, I just feel for the thousands of people affected by TT deaths over the years.

I have a different view, conveniently highlighted last week, I bet these guys would rather die having the time of their lives, than due to a drunk driver or some random guy shooting anyone he can find in a supermarket.

This isn't the thread for you then.

No one's making them do it. They know the risks.

Does it feel fast or does your brain slow it all down and smooth it out ?

Have to say, I'm finding the TT+ coverage really enjoyable so far.

Davo Johnson has been great for the commentary, in particular.

I'm not sure what Amy Williams is bringing to the party but can't complain too much given what could have been...

Point of order LB , why is every single post from you on whatever topic so bloody negative ? FWIW my view is these guys are having a ball racing on the island , they are all well aware of potential consequences but work all year towards their goal . Good luck to them and may it continue for a very long time , wish I had big enough gonads to do it .

Just bore off.
No one GAF what you think, either here, or the Silverstone thread, or in fact anywhere.

Take your negativity and don’t let the door smack
You on the arse on the way out….
