Yes hats off to ITV. Coverage so far has been superb. I can't wait for the racing to start.

At least they called it off early yesterday
I remeber back in 2003 when we were lready for the start of the Proddy 1000 TT, we had been up early, got the bike scrutineered and then sat around for hours as the 10am start kept getting pushed back and back amd Adrian the rider was all wound up like a coiled spring waiting to go, must play havoc with the riders nerves as they just want to get on the bike and race

Not much fun for spectators either,.....sat up on the mountain,.....mist coming down,....roads closed,so no way of getting back to the b&b.
Not been for 10 years now,but its still not out of my system.

Worth it just for Mad Sunday.Nice to do a couple of laps in the daytime with all the loons and numpties,.......even better to do it in the early evening when they have all gone to tea.

or get up at 430 and wake everyone else up on the campsite before doing a quick lap.

Only two more sleeps till we go and because of the rescheduling we should, weather permitting get an extra race in the four days we are there.

If you have never been make sure you do it soon, with all the doom mongers you never know when it might get axed !

and as someone else said hats off to ITV 4 great roundups and they didnt employ Mike Brewer but got Whit and Stavros with the Irish fellah
