Class above. As he said his bikes have given him an extra edge also. Mcguiness was over 40 secs off the pace in third I think.

Bruce came pretty close today! Looking forward to the Senior TT on Friday.

I have to watch it with one eye closed, I can not believe how fast those guys are, I don't know how there brain can take in the information to get round the course so quick, I just hope J/M doesn't push to hard trying to come away with somthing

Anyone else see the Joey Dunlop documentary last night. Winning a IoM TT hat-trick at 48 (my age!). Amazing guy, and it would seem a true gentleman in the best sense of the word.

Joey was the most humble modest man I have ever met. He also carried out a lot of work for charity driving a truck full of clothes and food to children's homes in eastern Europe by himself.

Great to see Michael getting similar success.

I was over there in 2010 when Hutchy won his clean sweep of five in a week and I honestly thought it'd never happen again.
I reckon Dunlop could well manage it this week, he's on fire.

I always thought that Dunlop would end up in pieces in a field somewhere before he won a TT but over the past year or two he seems to have really matured as a rider and has found what it takes to win TT's. He's won 7 already at 24 and the way he's been riding this year I reckon he could be heading towards McGuinness and Joey's levels of success on the island.

Would be good to see Mickey D take all 5 but I just cant see it. McPint for the Senior win in my eyes.

11 spectators taken to hospital following a crash in the seniors. 1 seriously injured apparently. The rider is fine.
