Last night Hutchy had 130.626 on s1000rr and Anstey got 128.976 on the RCV.
If Hutchy hadn't got injured I think he would be close to McGuiness on 23 wins and challenging Joey's record.

Re: TT 2016 - discuss...
A question I do have is the superbikes all have modified fuel tanks increased to 24 litres and still run out of fuel.
Why not fit a 25 litre tank ? Or is their a limit on fuel capacity ?

Must be at least 3 tweets a day from IOM Constabulary saying Mountain closed due to RTC. First one for today was at 6am.
Come on guys stopping throwing yourself at the scenery.
