hissingsid Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 The helicopters seem to be very active today as there are no reported incidents they must all be filming. Great weather let us hope it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway enough of that nonsense, what a brilliant race that was! It was a practice not a race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagster Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 No more racing today. Sounds like something awful has occurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 There's a video on twitter taken from the top of St Ninians showing the smoke. Horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) The twitter police are out in force 'take it down', 'show some respect', 'dont speculate' etc, but nah piss off. It's TT, there's a red flag and loads of smoke, no more racing today, someone's binned it into a wall and is probably dead, again. I suppose it's a bit like going to the zoo. You always have a nice time when you're there but you leave feeling a bit shitty cos you've seen a caged tiger or some bonobos that just shouldn't be there. We had a nice time at the grandstand. People die racing motorbikes around narrow roads not designed for racing. Frequently. Acknowledging it and talking about it is showing more fucking respect than shutting things down, offering some feeble 'thoughts and prayers' and then forgetting all about it as the show must go on.

In the main men are idiots, so let them carry on racing with the best possible safety in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOR Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 3 hours ago, Dirty Buggane said: Nice to see the racing off to good start. Must admit not enjoying the race commentary. Do they just sit in a studio/box and read off timing screens, throwing in the odd arnane comment now and then. Suppose we have been spoilt by commentators who have years if not decaded's of experience and to actually hearing bikes go past the commentary box's. They had best go tie old Geoff down stop him spinning. The new kids are on the block alright. Jenny thingummyjig is ok, and is a women of course, which is the way of the world these days in commentating. But her randomly stuttered delivery sounds affected, like when that raised inflexion at the end of every sentence that people used to do when they thought it made them sound interesting.
