Would love to be there, but will have to settle for listening to the races on TT Radio in the works Van

Anyone going, there, watching on the tele etc. A thread to post anything you like about the TT.
Ive had a few laps already - just awesome so far, but someone managed to have the mountain road closed within 30 minutes of it opening as one way for the fortnight!
Wishing good luck, and safe rides, to all riders and racers alike.
It's just a matter of time...

Maybe next year?!
I always try and listen to the racing on the radio, even when I’m trackside!
It's just a matter of time...
I'll be watching. I enjoy ITV4's TT coverage every year.
What's the weather forecast for the week?
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
Rain tomorrow - then dry for the whole week! :)
It's just a matter of time...
Thanks for that.
Will the absence of a few "names" make much of a difference this year?

Not so much. Most people book the year before. There are lots of great riders in the top 15-20 places, so it will still be amazing to watch. Plus Hutchy and Dunlop likely to race, with Dan Kneen, Lee Johnston, Hickman etc.
It's just a matter of time...
Fair point. I'm looking forward to it - the on-board shots just confirm that these guys operate on a different level to normal humans.

There's another live stream of this first practice from Sulby on the TT 2018 Facebook group for anyone interested

Reasonable times so far. It was quite windy on the mountain on my final lap, not that the professionals would be as affected by such things.
Hutchy a little off the fastest guys, but Harrison, Dunlop and Conor Cummins going well.
All set for a great year.
It's just a matter of time...
Indifference from the press until the inevitable death(s) I expect.
F.T.F.A.
I booked up last week to come in 2019...can't wait.
came over in 2017 in the car and had a great time but other half wanted to bring his bike in 2019 so thats going to be another adventure.
Flying on the Thursday to watch the Senior, and coming back Sunday so should see the Post TT races at Billown too.
Been numerous times, and it's one of those that has to be experienced.
Looking forward to this - hope Mcguiness and Norton have some success.

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Unfortunately, only Josh Brookes riding the Norton. John rebroke his ankle before the NW200, so will be a spectator this year.
Speeds are looking very high already for the big bikes with times over 133mph averages already.
Quite a few riders over, or very close to 130mph averages.
It's just a matter of time...
Yep scorching lap times so early in practice week Scott

Oh dear... aweful. Dan had a great NW200 this year. I was expecting him to have a strong TT following that performance.
RIP Dan..
i have booked and paid for the ferry the last two years and due to work havent made it. so although not being able to go again this year i havent lost money!
Only just heard about Anstey, let's hope he makes a miracle recovery, sounds like the Cancer has spread from his Spine into his Lungs, poor fella

That’s really shitty news about Dan, met him at Brands, he really was a nice down to earth guy

RIP Dan, here's a picture of him from yesterday, at least he went doing what he loved.
Outright lap record gone on the first lap of the first race.
Dean Harrison, from a standing start too.
134mph

Here's a link to the Manx Radio TT coverage: link.
And another to TT Live Timing.
But I expect that you'd already found the latter, if not both.
As you rightly guessed PB always on the timing and the Manx radio pages, was just interested if any live streams were to be had, I think that the Duke dynasty ensure no live coverage happens....
Have to make do with my 1951 Barnet map lol

Hopefully Harrison and Hickman will have the reliability to challenge MD in the remaining races.
Hillier, Hickman, Harrison - One of them must get on the top step this year?
And what about Connor Cummins? Didn’t expect the Honda to be so good, or for him to be at the top - either!
Haven’t checked, but - is anyone fielding any R-1s?
There are a few R1's
Brookes
William Dunlop - but pulled out
Horst Saucer
Martinez
George Spence
50%+ of the field are BMW S1000RR's
3 races, 3 new lap records.
I'm sat on the mountain, just up from Joey's - waiting for the big bikes to start after this side car practice.
It's just a matter of time...
Well done to Peter Hickman, lets hope for a safe rest of the week...
Another great day of racing, and new records!
Dunlop now on 18 wins (3 already this week!), another TT win for Rutter (as a replacement rider for John McG in the TT Zero), and a great win for Dean Harrison on the 600!
This Friday’s Senior race is all set to be a very exciting finale!
It's just a matter of time...
Currently at Liverpool Airport enjoying a beer waiting for my flight over for the Senior tomorrow. Can't wait. Billown races on Saturday too.

Who do you think will win the Senior folkes?

Head says Dunlop. Heart says Harrison.

Before the superstock I fancied Harrison for the win and Dunlop not far behind, but I'm not sure now as Hickman was awesome in that race clawing 11 seconds back after overshooting at braddan bridge.
