Michael Dunlop is on form at the TT this year, unbelievable rider that' could well break joey's record before the weeks out.

The clips I've seen he could break absolutely everything before the weeks out the mad b*****d

Always on the raggedy edge.

They're all mad b*****ds the way they hit that course - hopefully he gives some good results rather than a statistic

thats the problem with the TT, the winner is the one who pushes himself and his bike right up to that edge, not much needed to find the tipping point and very few get away with falling over from that edge, not sure if anything can or should be done about it though, road racers will always seek out the adrenalin rush that a good lap there gives.

All road racers know the risks none better than Michael Dunlop, in a world being sanitised with rules, regulations and health and safety wankers I'd hate to see road racing being turned into just another track day.

yeah michael is certainly on fire at the tt races clocked up his 25th win this morning, just one more win to equal  uncle joeys 26 wins, sadly a spanish rider lost his life yesterday,the fastest spaniard ever round the course, did a 125mph in qualifying last week,  these boys know the risks, but love the mountain course, real good coverage of it this year.

Do you think there's a chance of 137 being broken tomorrow lanesra?

Been an unbelievable fortnight , racing on the edge & weather has been as good as you could wish for , the island is rammed with people / bikes yet very little trouble , 1 down side the Spanish lad the other night let’s hope he’s the only downside.

Honestly no , as I think on a six lap race they will be on it but surely subconsciously they pace themselves and their bikes but that’s only my opinion.
