Not sure how many on here watch or are intrested in this except @Diddums but it's that time of year. Having ridden round the island hitting 130mph the fact these guys hit 130+ average speed is mind blowing. Already in practice Micheal Dunlop has done an unofficial 135.53mph lap on the superbike and broken the supertwin lap record from a standing start.

Anyway here's on onboard from day one practice, I heard no lap timer to take the pressure off while they get up to speed. To think the big bike races are 6 laps too that's hard.

Doesn't look too scary @GazzaGarratt

On public roads….insane! Is Michael the son of Joey Dunlop?

No his nephew. However his brother and dad as well as Joey all died in road racing accidents.

Nothing to add other than  we see the usual comments on social media about banning the the race which does a disservice to the memories of those lost.

 

RIP Raul.

The previous post somewhat sours the fact Micheal Dunlop is close to overtaking his uncle with the most wins round the island and in doing so breaks the lap record for the supersport class which are mainly 600cc.

These guys are amazing I have to say. With my concentration skills I'd be brown bread very very quickly on a normal motorbike, never mind something like TT.
