TT 2013 - On Bike Lap - Michael Dunlop

Harold Finch

Just came across this their, jaysus!

Muahahaha

That's something else. The way he gets by the three other riders is magic, it's hard to believe how close the bike come together at those speeds. The riders must love the mountain section where they really open it up.

Wonda-Boy

Its just jaw dropping seeing the skill of them lads all of them not just Micky D. To memorise that whole course is just incredible.....

Muahahaha

Lads any channel on TV showing this years TT ? I think the first race is at the weekend sometime

Nice one, I'm looking forward to that now. Really must make it over there so e year

Muahahaha

Just looked at the ITV4 listings on the UPC guide. Not sure if the guide is playing up but it is showing some programs but saying others are 'Not available in ROI'. Hopefully it's just my box playing up. The guide does show a documentary on Joey Dunlop at the TT tonight, I think 10 or 10.30pm but it's not showing me any TT for tomorrow night

I hope it does work, ive never really liked watching any racing but ive watched a couple documentaries about the tt and id like to watch it. Here are the listings.

My gay ass UPC won't show me any good biking stuff. You can watch it on the itv player though: https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/isle-of-man-tt/series-7/episode-1-tt-2014-the-michael-dunlop-story

And use https://hola.org to get around the region problem

It's on Setanta Ireland on UPC around 9 or 10 most nights.

If you've Sky ITV4 isn't blocked for this programme like UPC is, well it didn't use to be anyway...

I just checked my IOMTT recording from Setanta last night and its poxy golf, tennis and ads!
Supposed to be on at 1.15am tonight according to UPC guide and Setantas website.

It's flat out in many places, best thing about the mountain is the chance to relax and actually sit on the bike for a while lol.

Muahahaha

It's listed on the Setanta program guide as being on right now 9-10pm but instead there is rugby on. It's head wrecking for them to list it and not show it, especially given ITV4s coverage of the TT is blocked too, like ffs can't we watch this anywhere with ease ??

That's really weird. I can still get ITV - ITV4 with an elapsed Sky subscription.

Sky allow viewing of ITV on other channels, you can't record or pause but you can view the ITV lineup.
I believe UPC block all ITV sports related stuff due to licensing issue in the ROI being a separate market.
Not rubbing salt into the wound but there was footage of Bruce Anstey's record laptime of 132.29 MPH could have been faster but he ran into some back markers!

Zascar

That was an incredible lap - he even went wide a few times, would love to see what he could have done with a good clean run!
That BMW Michael Dunlop on is something else... Glad he got the win

Saw this last night. He had his mistakes too, ran very wide at the bottom of the Creg.

I was right there that day watching. Was absolutely floored when it came in over 132.

Ansteys lap was unreal to watch,frightening speed in some ways yet just mindblowing considering the amount of traffic he encountered.
And hes also a true gentleman too,even the other day he let MD by in the final 100 meters to take the chequered flag.
Anstey is a gentleman of the sport.
