Batshit insane stuff. Looking forward to the races. Anyone else?

Hoping for a safe event. Its beyond insanity seeing them weave through country roads at 180 mph+

Great to have the daily highlight shows on German TV for once

Which Channel?

Motorvision (Pay TV Channel)

Laurent Hoffmann had a lucky escape, though he has broken both his femurs. Ouch.

So gotta go to the TT one day

I am not steeped in motorcycle racing history, but this quote from motorsportretro.com made me wonder:



From: http://www.motorsportretro.com/2010/08/ ... y-roberts/

How would people rank Joey Dunlop among them? Dunlop was an Isle of Man wizard, instead of a GP wizard, but how competitive and important was the TT in the era just following it's exclusion from the world championship?

Qualifying and race schedule: http://www.iomtt.com/TT-Info/Qualifying ... edule.aspx

For the first time I've actually got the presence of mind to be in the position to watch this live, but I won't be able to see the Superbike TT :/

the first Superbike TT is on today, Michael Dunlop has set lap records on Lap 1 and then bettered it on lap 2 with a 131.890mph lap

The Dunlop name lives on. At this rate, he's gonna be better than his uncle. What an amazing rider.

Michael Dunlop wins for BMW - 1st superbike TT win for BMW for 75 years

Guy martin 2nd
Conor Cummins 3rd

Kiwi Bruce Anstey takes 4th and the outright lap record of 132.298mph

Karl Harris has been killed in a crash at Joey's Corner. Absolutely gutted. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe- ... n-27684730

RIP Bomber.

Just seen Jenson mention Harris' passing on Twitter. Gobsmacked.

RIP

Terrible news in such a short time from Simon Andrews' passing. Gary Johnson suffered a bad crash too, but he's set to recover.

Hutchinson's off road trip after the Superbike race, lmao

I believe he broke his collar bone if I caught the call right. I'm not sure if we're getting one hour highlights on a same day tape delay basis or what, but Velocity here in the states is airing the iTV highlights shows each night at 10PM.

Johnson crashed shortly after the hairpin, so can't have been a very high speed accident. Sucks for him though, he was one of the few that could threaten Michael Dunlop.
