Forget winning, even surviving this race would be the greatest achievement in a man's life. Congrats MD! & R.I.P Raul

[@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977]

I wonder if there could be the possibility of doing it with cars. Jordan did an exhibitiom once.

[@Mexxx65]

Q. What rider goes into a TT event, thinking "even surviving this race would be the greatest achievement in my life" ???? A. None

[@ichabod72]

@@Mexxx65 A few of them do - have you seen the look in their eyes when they get off the bike at the end? I'm actually there watching from the hedges - they are as crazy as this position on survival suggests.

[@Mexxx65]

@@ichabod72 FGS, you can not tell ANYTHING peering through a riders dirty helmet trying to look into his eyes!! They are "pro" bike racers. the LAST thing on their minds is "risk". What they are thinking about, is hitting their marks, focusing on the job at hand, thinking of how hard they will push on each lap, and on the last lap, they are only focusing, on next corner next corner, and always looking far ahead. They are NOT thinking of the risk....because as many of the riders say, you just can't, if you do think of just "surviving" you will fall off and possibly kill yourself. And you simply can not be out there on the track with this mindset.

[@StarkRaven59]

If you go in thinking survival, you don't go fast enough. This event requires mad levels of mental commitment. RIP Raul.

[@Achiriririri]

Congrats to every rider for surviving this race ! Rip Raul, we will never forget you ❤

What a great dynasty of racers, The Dunlop Clan. Massive respect. 🇬🇧

[@gilbertoconcerto4735]

McPint showing Michael the safe pass was an act of pure class. Just waiting for the official name change of the island to the Isle Of Dunlop. R.I.P Raul, you will be sorely missed at Irish events and road racing the world over.

Hahahahahaha Isle of Dunlop. Keep the original name though.

I've always wondered how the human mind is capable of keep focus at 200Mph on public roads with houses, trees and lamp posts flying past you. These riders are legends, each and everyone of them!

[@voongnz]

Congrats MD! And can't believe McGuiness is still going strong 💪 legends.

That pass from Hickman on the left of Coward was unbelievable riding. Respect to both riders. Class.

[@sniperreddragon2782]

McGuiness on that pass through absolute class!!!!

[@Michael_11]

1 hour 43 of racing and just 18 seconds seperating the top 3 is crazy! thats just 0.3% or 0.4mph average or just 1/12th of a second per mile, thats faster than the blink of an eye per mile traveled.

[@fugurc]

is there any other individual performance harder than this in motorsports?? these racers deserve huge respect! congrats to all!

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

how smooth did Dunlop look tho! 😲....WOW👊

That overtake by hickey on the mountain was stunning

Gives me goosebumps these guys !

[@christycullen2355]

Considering what Michael has been through losing his father his uncle and his brother he honestly has destiny behind him in my opinion

[@AimHigherWindowCleaning]

Oh man such a clean start to TT this year so sorry the good fortune had to end. Well done MD on the third of the week, wd hicky for answering, well done macguinnes for being a legend and still being fairly competitive, well done Browne and Jamie for the podiums, and so sorry to hear Raul has died. At least he lived x

The camera angle that looks up to St Ninian's and follows them down Bray Hill and over Ago's is awesome. Wouldn't want to be the cameraman though. 😬

[@ashleytombs]

Kudos to Hickman no brakes and no quick shifter and still managing to get 2nd and that overtake on Jamie coward was absolutely ridiculous and insane and big respect to Jamie for giving Hickman the room just about and realizing he was there at that speed one mistake isn’t going to end well for both of them definitely overtake of this year’s TT

[@R9T-1170]

Ich konnte die S1000XR auf der Rennstrecke testen und man kann ziemlich flott unterwegs sein. Was ich mir von der M1000XR wünschen würde, wäre ein optimierter Sitz, welcher eine aktive Fahrweise auf der Rennstrecke zulässt. Die Bremse sollte wie M1000R funktionieren, dann ist alles gut. Freue mich auf die MXR
