Can't see any records getting broken this year with the weather being so shit. Limited practice time is going to hurt newcomers and unproven bikes.
Talking of newcomers, Ryan and Callum Crowe, sons of 5 times sidecar winner did 110mph on their 1st ever lap. That is awesome, and was 7th fastest in the 1st and only practice session.

Yeah, last year was perfect weather for 2 weeks; almost unheard of.
McPint is hoping for dodgy conditions as he thinks that his years of racing on the Island will give him an advantage (see Joey in the Senior on the Honda SP-1 in 2000). Likewise, Michael Dunlop should be in with a shout, even on a new BMW. At what point do they call off the Superbike or Senior due to the weather? And what about the Superstock 1000s; do they race in the wet?

I’m going to stick my neck out and go for Hillier in Formula 1 race. He’s dialled in with the team and the bike. Lack of practice will help him get an advantage. He was on it at NW200 too.
Dean Harrison will be hungry for revenge.
Can’t wait for it to begin. Proper racing.

Dunlop seems off this year. Maybe mortality has finally hit his mindset?

Looking like rain on and off most days, even into next week. The temperatures as 13 or so! No practice today, supposed to be tomorrow but it's still going rain then and race on Sunday but it's still going to rain then! What a load of cock.

Dodged a bullet there. Rearranged for next year now.

This is a vintage shit zero. A shit year of legend. A year in which the TT was reduced to running some 1 lap races. Glorious.

Well pleased for Dean Harrison. Hickman's problems handed him the win but he has been superb and deserved a win for his efforts.
Shame about the weather but the clerk of the course was in a tough place, especially after losing Daley Mathison.
New order at the front now. Think McGuiness and Hutchy should call it a day.

Hutchy needs that appearance cash to pay for the bling wheelchair he seems to be aiming to be in.
