1st time I'd watched MotoGP for years and thought it was fantastic.

when did GP riders start putting there legs out coming into corners supermoto style?

hora....if you want to go to the TT next year then you best book your tickets and hotel now

There's a lot of people who book their hotel and ferry for the following year before they leave

I remember Mike Hailwood describing his line at a point near Kirk Michael at very high speed

There is [was] a manhole cover 12" from the kerb & the best line is between the cover & the kerb at the apex
Problem is, there's also a telegraph pole close to the kerb

Hailwood said "it's not too bad, I just move my head to one side" 😯

Having passed my bike test last year and knowning roughly what a bike feels like going around left and right handers,its a bit diffrent to a car and a hell of a lot harder.it will take decades to feel confident on any bend that jumps out on me at whatever speed i want. you could say that if a car race was staged around the TT course then the likes of loeb would memorize it enough to pin it all the way but he could get away with not knowning it as well as a motorcyclist and make corrections on every other corner.. and live to tell the tale. Not on bike though.

rossi on a motorbike would never pin the TT course within a week.He wouldnt pin it over a few months of practicing! Hes got the fear and admits he has the fear of the TT. he would have to hit every fast corner with confidence and near perfection to stay on/win.
you could get away with so much in a car though.there is NO WAY rossi could do it in a week.
Have a look at the big picture in this months superbike magazine,pages 6&7 of michael dunlop.Hes probably over a ton in the pic.its blind and bonkers.
