The question now is how long I can stay up and watch...

I gave up after the start of the Supertwins race so lucky not to see the crash.

As did I. Road racing can be a nasty game.

One real frustration with the BBC coverage - as Jellywrestler said - is the lack of any timing and position info, as well as the pinhole view of riders. In the helicopter shots you may see one rider and not know who or where he is.

As an aside. The closing speed they get in a slipstream is dramatic. One minute you have a reasonable gap then nek minnit someone steams past you at a horrific rate of knots.

He would have been one of the great TT riders in the coming years, unfortunate to see ,

ouch, MMT and Billy Redmayne have both ridden the cemetery circuit in recent years, and both gone in such a short time, bit close to home....
