If you're not watching this, you should, the racing is superb and the coverage is quite amazing - the super slow motion camera work is quite astonishing, you can see every movement of the bike and the rider inputs and their eyes staring into the distance, never seen coverage like it

I'm watching and as you say the coverage is remarkable if not a little frightening, having covered the course quite a few times It amazes me the speeds they get up to through some of the more dangerous sections and the shots of Milkys crash in the TT History program just go to show how easily an accident can happen.
The quality of the racing is brilliant and you do feel sorry for those that break down such as Bruce Anstey and Michael Dunlop, more so Bruce having done most of the hard work by the time he went out of the Supersport TT.
