Thank you very much for posting this link! I love Irish roadracing, it's the real deal. Very exciting. I may just drag my butt out of bed to catch some of it.

Any favorites this year? Will Finnegan be riding the MV in the production 1000?

Lap times for the 1000 Super bike practice on Tuesday night.

1. Bruce Anstey (Suzuki) 120.04mph
2. Michael Rutter (Kawasaki) 119.88
3. Guy Martin (Honda) 119.19
4. John McGuinness (Honda) 119.03
5. Steve Plater (Yamaha) 118.33
6. Ryan Rainey (Yamaha) 118.02

Plater and Rutter are the guys to watch, although a relatively new guy who is really good is Ian Hutchinson, he is unreal, looks like he is struggling with set-up at the moment.

Ian looks funny with those legs though. Looks like a little kid when he pulls off his helmet too :laughing

Where is Finnegan?

it was good stuff

anstey coming back to win after the highside was awesome. and the TAS 600 has got some juice!

rutter needs to ditch those kawi's and get on a real bike. the kawi's are dogs. he'd be right back @ the front of BSB if he were on a decent ride
