I love the TT! Must be awesome to be there as they fly past flat out!

It looks bloody quick to tele but i bet its even quicker in reality. They are some sort of superhuman people to even consider entering the TT.

The concertration they need must be immense! Any rider will know the concertration needed even on a quick fast road run, so to do this for even one 38 mile lap averaging 120-130mph is unreal!

Did anyone hear rossi when they interviewed him?

''one thing you need to do this is.......errrrmmmm.........brave''

I agree about the Slow-mo camera footage - really good quality!

Impressive coverage this year as well.

He was interviewed in his garage at home the other day, he talked about making tea in depth, adding milk first rather than adding it last being better as it forms an emulsion rather than a mixture etc, was quite amusing

disappointed for john mcguinness as he clearly deserved the senior win and was absolutely flying. lots of disappointing retirements in the big one that took the shine off it a bit. an awesome week of viewing though
