I'm so glad this coverage is on TV. I'm amazed by the speeds as well and how they can go so fast, jump bumps in the road as well as keep the bike in control when it goes all wobbly. Absolutely amazing, I have so much respect and envy for what they do.

Gut-wrenching stuff.  The death-count at this race kind of blows my mind.  On a per-participant basis, the TT is probably about as dangerous as climbing a lot of those 8,000m mountain peaks.

 

It's a wonder that a place with such a nanny-state mentality as the UK allows it to continue.

Always sad to see things like this happen, but these guys know the risks. Especially with a race such as this one. But holy hell, 65 years old and started racing IoM in '92. Now that's a legacy.
