i must get over there for it next year..this has really got me geared up for the TT..only a couple of weeks to go

[waynester]

Just a reminder - race started..

[laminator]

Awesome, thanks for the link. I'm sat watching it at work,

[F.M]

Just tuned in...beer in hand...
Who`s won what so far....?

[waynester]

Mcguiness super bike race...only 3 laps completed after Anstey binned it.

Bruce Anstey won the 600 race

missed the 125/250/400....think Mcguiness was 2nd on the Padgetts 250

Shame Anstey's not racing the 2nd superbike race..
I thought Guy rode a good s/stock race, his bike looked down on top speed but he certainly makes up for it on the brakes and in the chicanes..

Kawasaki's are quite slow on top speed though, difficult for rutter.

[laminator]

I like the helicopter views, it really shows the effects of slipstreaming. Apparently Anstey has been riding injured after the first race accident!!! But he's still very quick, winning the 600cc supersport.

[y2blade]

yeah shame about anstey not taking grid for the 2nd race!

my mate works for the firm who supply the RELENTLESS (formerly TAS suzuki) team Engines,he's over there with them at the moment ditto the TT same as last year,he got me into the TAS suzuki pit area in douglas under the awnings of the team truck, i had a cup of tea with Hector Neill they are a great team and they had alot of bad luck last season roadracing hopefully his year will be better for them

[waynester]

Good 2nd s/bike race. I thought Guy's move on Mcguiness at the chicane was hard but fair.
Good ride..

Good ride..

I agree. Also the move Platter made on McGuinness earlier, took some bottle

[StuB]

Great coverage, I love the fact the helicopter is well toasted!

Impressed with Plater's win and can't think why Mc went through the exit road.

Good job there's no speed camera's on them roads too

[waynester]

Wow..great last race. Good effort by Rutter on a clearly slower bike.

Cheers Y2blade for the link, thoroughly enjoyed the days racing.
I hope to make it over there next year.

Cheers.
