Of interest to his many fans, may be that unofficially, I had Micky D, Glen Helen to Glen Helen -on  laps 5/6 at
17m 08.29sec  or 132.09mph.

On the last lap, for Micky D to stand a chance of bettering Bruce Anstey's outright lap record of 17m..06.682sec or 132.298mph, he needed to be at Cronk ny Mona by around Bruces record time of last year which was ..... 16m..08.420sec.

He was indeed on schedule, arriving at Cronk ny Mona at....... 16m..08.362sec.

Unfortunately as we now know, it was to go 'belly up' at The Nook. Hope he & the bike are 100% for the Senior.

I think that given ideal conditions for the Senior on Friday, the 133mph lap, or very close to it, is a possibility, albeit remote...with any one of four or five or riders 'in the frame' as possible candidates to achieve it!
             ............................the magical time required is minimum 17m..01.2sec  (133.008mph).
