Whose watching the IoM TT

Been a good watch so far this week.

Just watching the highlights of Jessup vs Rutter on the Lightweights ITV4.

Mixed feeling on the Tragedies of the past two days though. I was equating to Aintree to Mrs G earlier this evening. But the racers on the IoM get to choose if they race, unlike the horses at Liverpool.

I think they're absolute nut jobs but it's compelling

I've watched everything that has been on TV - the most amazing racing I ever see!

Really pleased to see Hutchy is still on it as well! I've become quite a fan of his since I saw a documentary about what he had to go through to get back to racing - amazing dedication!

I know what you mean about the tragedies but it's the IOM, it tends to happen every year and the racers are probably far more aware of the potential consequences if it goes wrong than anyone else.

Looking forward to Friday's race in some ways - it's the big one, but sadly it's also the last one (well until the Classic)!

Not seen much of it this year.

Looks like it could be Anstey's last year at the event. Pulled up saying he wasn't concentrating properly.

Not a track to blast around with your mind elsewhere.

I like the coverage and the on bike action shots improve every year. Utterly amazing
As an ex biker, its on my bucket list to get across and see for real.

Isn't that obvious?

They all wear crotchless leathers, and just paint their scrotum to match!

Greatest show on earth

look forward to it every year ..always bittersweet though as it takes no prisoners...Great to see Hutchy going well again...i dont think it will be too many years before he takes the record wins from Joey Dunlop...nice to see Rutter back in the mix too
