You could have saved a load of cash and sat in front of the mirror, seeing as you're both :P

I don't see it in the superbike race as virtually no setup time on the big bike, or reliability checks, but you can't count him ever. Going to be a great race either way as very strong field with multiple potential winners.

What happened to Dunlop. In the interview he implied a back marker took him out ?

Congrats to Bruce Anstey, he deserved the win and first on a superbike so nice to add that to his CV.

Hutchy looked fast.

Anstey has been riding there for years. I'm sure that's a very popular win in the paddock.

that was my first "live" TT race , you obviously get a better all round view on the telly but the atmosphere ,the noise and the sheer outright speed of these guys is just something to be marveled at.

One of the sidecars has today put in a lap of 116.060mph.

Those people aren't mentally stable.
