Build up to the Isle of man TT!
The Shop
The Silicone Engineering Kawasaki rider laid down a marker from the outset with an opening lap of 133.140mph, the fastest ever standing start lap – albeit unofficially – before increasing his pace second time around. The Bradford rider’s quickest lap prior to tonight was 132.019mph, set in last year’s PokerStars Senior TT race."
Imagine averaging 133mph over 37 miles of twists and turns. Frighteningly fast. These fellas have huge tatties.

PS: Dean Harrison is really doing great indeed! After the NW200 I tweeted that this team and Dean are really underestimated because year after year they are building a very competitive package and Dean makes it work most of the times! Personally I hope that Hutchy keeps safe, racing with only one leg and a half. Besides that it will be a nice open battle! Still don't get it why Dunlop left the great package Hawk Suzuki gave him. If you see what Bradley Ray is doing on that bike in BSB and what Dunlop did on it after only a few months of testing last year! But he's a special character who always seems to feel the need to control everything himself.
I do hope both Bruce and Jamie defeat that bastard Cancer - both are greats.
Bummer that McG is out, and that Hutchy is walking wounded.
This year is only the second time in 12 years I'm not there - my current health couldn't deal with the work load I get coerced into, so, I've succumbed to reality, and stayed home, to go to the 2 Indonesian MXGPs, as a Holiday. Next year, I hope to be back.
133.462 mph Lap Average in Practice - goodness me........ Dean Harrison is on it. What the hell type of time that will inspire Dunlop, and others to, I shudder to think.
Ian Lougher, 10 times TT winner on the Suter MMX - last time - 2016- there they discovered, after the event, a very simple thing that played havoc with their efforts. I hope He / They keep it together and have fun. He's in his mid 50s now, so not a realistic threat, but one of The Greats, nonetheless. Stay safe, Ian!. I'd love to see one of the current Real Roads superstars on the Suter. Michael Dunlop on it would be something to see.
A ride / instruction lap with Milky Quayle, Dean Harrison and Dan Kneen :

Pit Row
It shows it can happen to anyone from a beginner to one of the fastest on the mountain.
Godspeed and full gas, Dan.
RIP Dan Kneen.
What can you say? This makes MX/SX look like tiddly winks.
