This years TT has been spectacular thus far - countless records broken across all classes and some terrific racing too.

Standouts for me are Dean Harrison (really deserved the Supersport 2 win after working really hard all week), Peter Hickman (what an awesome race the Superstock was - 134.4 mph on street tyres - wow!), Michael Dunlop (sitting on 3 wins and definitely in with a shot at 4 - 129 mph on a 600!), Michael Rutter (the old guy has been there or thereabouts in a few races and took out the Zero over 120 mph), Peter Hillier (he's tried so hard but just off the required pace), Davo Johnson (going so well) and the Birchalls (just going quicker and quicker).

Very difficult to pick a winner for the Senior tomorrow, but I think it will be between Harrison, Hickey and Dunlop. My pick - Dean Harrison - he was out in front of the Superbike race until forced out with clutch problems.

Bring on Friday and may they all stay safe.
I plan on living forever - so far, so good!

Not sure, i'd probably sway towards Hickey, he's just that little bit smoother. Dean Harrison's riding is more akin to Dunlop, both look to be aggresive, ragged riders.
Some call it reckless behaviour - I prefer to think of it as youthful exuberance & character building.

Ive really enjoyed the racing this year as been said a lot of records been torn to pieces - Id like Harrison to win but I think it'll go to Dunlop

One year Ill get there . . . one year (and itll probable be raining)  :cheesy:

What an awesome race!

Hickey owns the mountain - Harrison quicker from start to Ramsey but Hickey got it back and more over the top.

Top ride from Connor Cummins too - great day at the office.

135 mph will stand for a while I reckon.

Listened to it on the radio. What a race !!
Great rides by all. Watched Conor Cummins at Wanganui on Boxing Day. Really pleased for him.
But the Birchalls......just Wow !! 
Great effort from John holden too. Think he's 62, what a way to get a thrill.
:hat: :hat: :hat:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎
