    Those Dunlop tyres at the nw200 wtf ?

    Spoilt the final superbike race

    Hickman was fast before he had problems and will surely dominate the TT. Glenn Irwin making his debut I think still

    Hickman is flying as expected

    Glenn Irwin putting in a good showing first-time

    Michael Dunlop a creditable third in the superbike race j think a few retirement helped move him up

    Put it on a spoiler FFS. Been trying to avoid the results until it's televised later on like most people I would guess.

    😞

    Rubbish. Just avoid the thread until you see the highlights later. You are not forced to read the thread.

    Davy Morgan rip. Absolute legend of road racing, been in the paddock for as long as I've been following road racing.

    Thanks for the memories Davy.

    The bikes are not getting any slower

    Think it was that muppet Fogarty that first broke 120

    Johnathan rea knocked off him off his perch anyhow

    Will there be any motor bike racing in Ireland this year?

    The lack of insurance seems to be the death knell of the sport. If we lose it for one year I don't think we will ever get it back.

    The sport hasn't been helped by people involved in it taking insurance claims. Surely we know the dangers if we're racers.

    The Calendar in the six Counties is gone anyway. Not certain about road racing planned in the Republic.

    Toprak off to BMW! Didn't see that coming after him testing the MotoGP bike with Yamaha.

    Seriously? Wow, also didn’t see that coming. VDM out the door then?

    I wish JR was as ruthless with his moves. Stayed too long on the Honda by at least 2 years and I feel like it’s the same now with Kawasaki.

    or is everyone just waiting/hoping for Alvaro to retire!

    I get ya! I really hope Kawasaki aren't stringing JR along the way Honda did.

    I think he is hoping he will be allowed get back the full rev range but even if that

    happens I can't see Bautista getting beaten.

    I normally go to Portimao for this, but the flight this year alone is €305!!!

    Ya i was going to but I like the TT twitter feed and manx radio commentary

    Just seen upthread there i was drunk posting on Fogarty a while back. He's not the worst, TT legend himself just a touch of arrogance about him

    They're all legends and TT is growing all the time in status

    I sometimes have the radio commentary on when watching it. Chris Kinley is brilliant.

    Hi all,

    Just curious to know which series are bike fans into at the present!

    MotoGP or WSBK

    To be honest I follow both, but do find that World Super Bikes is currently, especially over the past three years more exciting then MotoGP.

    Maybe because of the Toprak, Bautista & Rea battles!

    🏍️

    Moto gp for the commentary and the sprint plus Marquez is back making it interesting

    Still both. But the combination of Bautista and the Ducati being unbelievable is making it a bit boring.

    The Kawasaki is really poor, even Alex Lowes has had enough and is finished with them at the end of

    the year. Toprak to BMW can only be a good thing.

    But my favourite series at the minute and has been for a long time is BSB.
