Probably because they have to open the roads by a certain time so can't do the full number of laps

[Dodgy69]

Think all stock races are 3 laps instead of 4 this year. New schedule maybe, senior on Saturday etc.

Stockers just as quick as superbikes around here aswel and maybe less issues.

[wull]

They have to pit after 1 lap as well.

Fantastic supersport race.

[wull]

Well fuck me dead, he’s on a mission this TT.

[Dodgy69]

2 horse's not 3 this year.

Dean Harrison must be getting heartily fed up with 3rd place...

Just finished watching the Supersport race, what a performance from Michael on that last lap, he was controlling the race perfectly and pulled the pin when he seen the gap closing slightly. Incredible.

I’m expecting Hicky to more than likely win the Superstock race but the Senior will hopefully be a great battle with the 135.4 mph lap getting beat.

He’s on 25 wins now and he’ll definitely win the Twins with no issues so we should at least get even with his Uncle Joey on 26 wins.

I’m hoping it is closer during the Superstock race, you can never count him out.

Does this week put MD alongside the GREATS of the TT then ? The fact he's come back from not winning to winning ? The fact he's done it on different bikes more than a few times ?

I’d say so, I reckon he’s the best road racer at the moment, when everything is working well and he’s game for it he’s unstoppable.

[Dodgy69]

Afaiac, he's been one of the greats for a few years, but he's upped it this year for sure. Saturdays senior should be ace and the stockers need to go back to 4 laps. 600s do 4.

[wull]

I think they’ve changed it to 3 laps because you now get 2 x Superstock races whereas it’s always been just the one race.

[Dodgy69]

You may be right Wull, but 4 could easily be done. I've enjoyed the supertwins and sidecars aswel this year, nice to see the Birchells get some competition. Molyneux used to be the man but he's been off for a while now. They reckon he's an horrible fcuker anyway.

I am another one who thinks he has been among the TT greats for a few years now. His wins have come at a far younger age and over a shorter period of time than McGuinness and Uncle Joey for example. He has also done it at a time of peak competition when there are several contenders to win in each class rather than 2 or 3 on factory bikes

I hope he gets to 27 this week but will be a challenge to get any interviews with him afterwards

136.3 mph ffs on a stocker

Absolutely astounding lap. What a rider that guy is. Almost a whole second faster than the previous record, and on a Superstock bike. What could he do if his team get his superbike sorted out?

[wull]

Grace keeps saying 136.6 but the commentators had said 136.3 so not sure which one it is, she’s made that mistake a few times this week so probably the 136.3

[wull]

136.358 mph

She’s a fookin idiot
