North West 200
Not the best of events, one of our races was red flagged 3 times on Thursday night, rescheduled as first race on Saturday and red flagged 3 more times before being abandoned. Still in our and as it turned out the meetings last race we went from 45th on the grid to finish 27th cause for a serious party. Did feel sorry for all the spectators who waited all day for the main race only for it to be cancelled at 7pm. Looking forward to the Ulster G P in August.

It always rains for the NW tho. I'm fairly sure it's part of the regulations...
I'm now over in the IoM for the big road races. Got at least some action in yesterday, and am due a Billown this afternoon for the pre-TT races. Fingers crossed for a safe fortnight. |

Was at Greeba last night and Ballacraine tonight so no work yet, but was sad news given it was the first full practice.
Big news today, of course, is Michael Dunlop's decision to leave terms part way through practice week. Given his laps tonight it may well be the right decision, but brave nevertheless |

Really a good fortnight
Hutchys fantastic return to former glory and then the mind blowing Senior race. I think Michael Dunlop lost out a bit under value but showed in the Seniors final lap what could have been without this silly incident in the opening Superbike race. Are you doing the post TT races too ? I hope to catch some commentary tomorrow. And now enjoy the craic |

Just wow. Yesterday was nothing short of incredible. Great week for Hutchy as you say - for someone who should have lost their leg 5 years ago it shows what determination can do.
I am down at Billown this afternoon, then it's all over for 49 weeks... 😞 |
