In reply to Richard White:

Great, pure Guy Martin!

Michael Dunlop has all the charisma of a wet weekend in Scarborough but bugger can he ride a bike fast!

In reply to Antigua:

Don't knock a wet weekend in Scarborough, I've spent hundreds there. Well, growing up there I would have.

Yes, Michael Dunlop is certainly more reserved than Guy.

In reply to Richard White:

I do like Guy and he's a great character but think Micheal just isn't interested in playing up for the cameras like Guy does. He does all his talking on the bike much like his elders did.

Funny how the commentators have been saying that Micheal's BMW has 10-15bhp more than anyone else. I'm sure it's probably got the most poke but i don't think that either Suzuki or HRC are going to give there teams second rate motors.

Bruce's Lap was just jaw dropping!! And coupled with a few mistakes. My bet is on him for the Senior and could we see the first sub 17min lap? Would take a brave man!

Looking forward to the Stocker Race tonight. Should be another good un!

In reply to Richard White:

Guy needs to find that extra 10% from somewhere soon or he'll never win. Quite odd to see the race by-passing the first four this week, often first lap as well.

In reply to Richard White:

Did anyone see what was wrong with his bike in the Stock race today? Loose fairing? Couldn't tell myself?

In reply to the_liquorice_man:


Not sure, couldn't see in any of the reports that I saw.

I think I read somewhere that the top 5 super stock bikes set faster times than the Tyco Suzukis in the Superbike race - says a lot if it's true, not detracting from Michael Dunlop's riding (I wouldn't be surprised if he wins them all this year)

In reply to the_liquorice_man:

I've heard a report that a spectator noticed that he'd lost a wheel nut, if that's the case then it's no wonder he was grateful when I expected an outburst instead.

RIP Karl Harris, a truly likeable bloke that took time out many years ago to chat to my lad at Cadwell Park.

In reply to Oli:


Except for the Supersport( as he already didn't win that one), or the sidecars (as he's not in that one) or the Zero (as he's not in that one)

But yes, agreed he's doing very well so far this year with spectacular advantages in both the races he's won.

Scary if Guy had lost a wheel nut! Very lucky the wheel was still on! Apparently some spectators gave him a cup of tea to cheer him up, how very British.

In reply to the_liquorice_man:

As it been confirmed yet on Guy? Also heard that it might have been a front shock issue which would explain bringing in Dunlop as well.

Interested to see what Bruce gets out of the Zero, even slowing down yesterday he snagged 3rd with ease.

In reply to the_liquorice_man:

Appears the front spindle bolt came off. Very unlikely that the wheel would have came off as there's pinch bolts to hold the spindle on both sides, provided they were tight of coarse. Either way it was good they pulled him!

Very sad news about Karl Harris. Great character! RIP

Interesting to here about Mc Guinness.
