TT is on ITV4 for any bike fans that are interested. Weather is looking good, should be super fast

Edit - wasn’t expecting that. Michael Dunlop new lap record 135.5mph

Yeah I do wonder what they have promised in terms of the bike.

Seen it, unbelievable that if im honest, guessing they are throwing the kitchen sink at WSB

I bet Yamaha are gutted

Saying that, you don’t get many chances to become a world champion and you want a decent bike to be that man

FB out again!

That Honda is poor, Mir crashes out again, PE did nothing last year and I thought MM was nailed on for second until that, you could see it coming, it’s was sliding all over losing grip

Even the independent Ducatis are extremely competitive!

Right about the jap bikes, Suzuki were close last year, Honda has no grip and the Yam has zero power in comparison, FQ said he had one overtaking opportunity and that was turn 4 running on the outside, flat as a fart. Reckon he will be gone soon if they don’t give him a competitive machine

How moto gp has changed with the highest placed Japanese machine only seventh. Another DNF for MM I think his glory days in the sport are over as I can't see honda developing the bike enough to be competitive with him on it and as you say I don't think he has the knowledge to help in development.

Been away, got back today and watched all 3. Nobody has got a chance of competing with that v4 with a flyweight on it at the moment, saying that, he is getting the best out of the package

Rea and Toprak to fight it out for second, needs some luck though. Insane on the brakes TR again

Got my tickets for the Donnington round

A Bautista T Razgatlioglu race one,two and sp, JR third in race one , fear it may all be over for the season unless something dramatic happens.

Great ride from Binder, looking strong KTM, Hopefully mixes things up a bit!

Feel for FQ, that Yamaha is not at the races as the saying goes

Good race with KTM 2nd and 3rd but close to a win.

I think they have done a lot of work with the Kawi, last season it was well off the mark, still sounds like he is suffering with front end grip though.

The V4 is some engine, I noticed FQ is feeling the pinch too, he has been vocal about Yamaha needing to bring out a V4, which I would love to see. Saying that, the cross plane crank is still one of the best sounding bikes around for me. Can’t see a straight 4 been truly competitive for a while, Audi / Ducati have done some work on that V4 power plant and they are now reaping the rewards, like looking back to the 916 days

Saying that Honda have run a V4 for years. Somebody in the press was blaming MM for Hondas poor performance the other week, saying he was a great rider but he was poor at developing the bike

Qualifying and the sprint race today

JR clearly had more corner entry and mid corner speed but was slower out of the corner. Vtwins always generated more mechanical grip and grunt than straight fours but lost out on top end but Ducati have the best of both with the v four.

Not good

Ducati straight line speed is crazy, like cheating. I see they are trying to get another 500rpm for the Kawasaki, they need it!

Ducati dominance

Saying that just bought myself a 1299 Panigale on a 17 plate, last of the big twins, I had been looking out for one for a while tbh
