You wouldn't feel comfortable at those speeds on those narrow lanes on your own, never mind 5 abreast at times.

At least they know there isn’t some tt in four by four a mile wide coming the other way on their side of the road. But joking apart I am in awe whenever I watch road racing. Huge fan of Peter Hickman the way he is competitive in BSB and on the roads, that is very special.

Once stood near Jurby watching a club road race on similar lanes and a guy got killed out of a simple coming together of 2 bikes resulting in him hitting the old dry stone wall. Literally a car width type road at crazy speed.

I've recorded it so will watch it tomorrow.

But I just wanted to say I'm another fan of Hicky - fastest ever over the TT course, and he does pretty well on circuits too. Very few riders manage to be competitive on both!
