Think it was in the pit change, they sent him off without sorting it. Gutted with a 26 second lead and nailing down lap records. Properly gutted.

Never understand why with a 1 minute pit stop they don’t just change the whole helmet.

it will be because is is difficult for someone other than the rider to get the strap at the correct tension, the rider could do it but may need to take their gloves off, not so easy when they are hot and sweaty, and in the heat of the moment with adrenalin flying high, it would be easy to over or under tighten the strap which would cause other issues.

yes mate, I'm good thanks, glad you hear you are. Weather is getting cooler and clouding over here, have you hung onto the sunshine?

Rain here again.

 

[arch stanton]

its raining here too now mate, was going to walk to the station as I have to go to Birmingham soon, going to have to drive to the station or get soaked.

Absolute nutters these lot. That documentary (Road?) was quality though. Scary some of the accidents that have happened are, and how easy it is for them to occur.

Michael Dunlop superb.

And what a time to get your first podium and be up there with the race win record holder for Dominic Herbertson.

Outright TT greatest. Like wrestling though!

Wild that he has the Jerry Halls to even continue in a sport that has taken his uncle and brother, let alone to dominate as he continues to do. Just hope he’s the one family member who gets to retire on top.

Not many that's been around that circuit in anger as many times as him. It's holding on when the powers to do it drop off that's key. You throw a few +8 over pars in on the golf course and you know your best is behind you. Trying to keep up with yourself in middle age like you were in your twenties is a bit different in terms of sat on the throttle with 130 horses ready to start screaming.
Weather waved em off yesterday, restricted warm ups today, so far no fatalities thankfully.

Good reflections there Reets, I retired from racing when I was running out of money, aggression and couldn't keep the required strength up.

Massive respect to the guys and girls that do the island, its a fantastic spectacle, just like wrestling

His Dad also I think on the North West 200.

I think you’re right. Motorbike equivalent of the Von Erich family (just to satisfy the fellas in here who hate TT and wrestling).

 

[Rita_Poon]

Davey Todd with his first win, beats Hickman who claims second. Dunlop third.

Red flag in the Supertwin. Fingers crossed all involved are ok.
