IOM TT 16

[S2K-Aaron]

There's always a hollowness when a great win is accompanied by deaths on the same day.

When you see red flag or 'serious incident' flash up on the Twitter feed, there's that period of dread. The not knowing what has happened and the hope that it's not that bad. And you never think it will be someone of the calibre of Shoey.

Thoughts with Paul Shoesmith's family and that of and Dwight Beare.

I second everything you said here...

On another note the Live Timing is Fantastic!

Hutchy the man to beat this week, two wins today and an epic first lap on the stocker.
Micky D disqualified from 2nd place in the SS results for a technical infringement.

 

[ilovequo]

Treble for Hutch!
The pace of those Supersport races is Incredible...

 

[dddrrift]

just back from being over at the weekend, unreal, the weather was perfect! some serious lap times being put in this year!

 

[ilovequo]

Headed over on Friday for the Senior - Can't wait!

 

[Cess]

Hutchy is nigh on unbeatable on that bike. TTC machinery seems to be the best of the best too. The Senior should be a monumental showdown.

Watched a full on board for the first time last night.....holy good **** its unreal!

 

[mr_s81]

Would love to see Michael stop Hutchy's run for the senior. Hopefully both bikes prove reliable and we should be down for a great race. If conditions remain good, surely a 134mph lap is possible?! Shows how good the Superstockers are when they are putting in 133's!

Just home about an hour ago, great day, speed of the bikes is unreal, and the top 10 are just something else to watch! Good to see Michael get it, his first few laps were stormers! Good to see he now has the sense to hold back to keep his place and not be balls out all the time!

Seen some news pop up on FB about another fatality ? Is that 3 ?

As much as I love motorsport too...the road racing is just insane.

Holy ****, that's crazy.

Great days racing yesterday although sickening to hear of these accidents as we were going home...
About the only photo I managed to catch on the phone - Dunlop leading the senior, think that's anstey on the rcv behind him..

Where did you stand to watch it Adrian? And is it handy to get over to the island?

Sounds like Hutchy had been storing all the frustration up and just let rip. Not really sure about the whole ins and outs of it but sounds like he was a bit annoyed at Michael getting a better engine than him from Germany. I am a Hutchy fan, and i really like the guy but i also remember after lasts years superbike race he was bitching about Hickmans Stocker and how quick it was and implying that he may have been cheating. It's a shame because he doesn't need to be coming off with statements like that because he is good enough in his own right.

Yeah exactly no reason for it at all then saying about future TT s not going to them ,this is a fella that nearly lost his leg n battled so hard to get back to TT n road racing poor statement from him,n know Michael's no angel either.

Statement released by the ACU today, regarding the 'Protest' by MD, " This technical inspection was carried out on all of the top three finishers in TT Supersport Race 2 on Wednesday 8th June and no discrepancies were identified in any of the motorcycles checked and no team or competitor lodged official protests."

According to Hutcy on twitter, a scrutineer is to blame for passing bad information. Again....he has just been made to look very foolish. Mind games eh!!

 

[mr_s81]

Seems like MD's mind games worked a treat on Hutchy. He has been made look a very sore loser as a result of all this. MD is also a very sore loser so to hear him giving off isn't unusual. Hutchy on the other hand is a bit of a surprise, and shows the pressure that Dunlop put him under.

Looking forward to the highlights tonight!

I get a private rib over, leave Ardglass and into Peel, and then taxi over to Douglas, walk round the pits etc, and watch racing at Brae Hill. Debating making a week of it next year, maybe get up round the mountain somewhere!

I went over with the 2 guys that own BLRC in Saintfield, Andrew & Granville, they have a boat each, don't know of any Toms on it but could be wrong!
