Guy i work with raced in the 750 classic side car. Hes crazy though lol.

Said they gave huge warnings about how conditions were on the limit and it was not to be treated as a race and to ride conservatively. Jap guy didnt take heed. RIP

Michael Dunlop looks unstoppable. He actually looks like he's riding the bike this year rather than raping it. Honda are pwning yet again, but that's nothing new :twisted: .

It's on 9pm on ITV4 every night this week for anyone who wasn't aware.

Would be nice, but can't see it happening this year unless the other guys all have problems. I think McGuinness in the senior race will be the only thing able to stop Michael getting the 5 out of 5.

Ye after seeing Dunlop yesterday you could be right! I'd like to hope mcguinnes will take it a bit more seriously now he's got some competition! He seemed really pissed off in the interview yesterday! Cameron Donald had it sorted as well! Just get behind m Dunlop and stay with him! Ha

Yeah I don't think McGuinness was expecting Michael to be so fast. He's still got it though, setting the fastest ever lap on his last lap and I'm sure he'll be out to prove that he's not finished yet come the senior. The 600s have never been his strong suit though, so it'll be down to Anstey or Cam Donald to be a fly in the ointment. Either that or his brother, William.

Avoided reading this while watching the recording.

Michael Dunlop is having a blinder! What's happened to him?! Flying.

Thought James Hillier had a great race in the Supersport too.

Hoping Guy goes well on the Superstock; that's his only shot. But, think Dunlop is on for 5/5. Riding so, so well.

He's lost 3 stone and he's racing for basically a full factory Honda team so he has the best of everything at his disposal. He's also switched to wearing a Shoei helmet, and everyone knows they are the fastest helmets :P

Like the guys on ITV were saying, Hillier was getting a lesson from the TT legends and shown the correct lines etc. He did a great job to hold onto the back of them.
