A few less ad breaks would be good but can't complain overall.

RE: telly box coverage.
I have to say they seem to be showing a lot more racing within the transmission time this year. That's got to be a good thing.

RE: telly box coverage.
Is there any live streaming on the net maybe, I doubt I can go all day without finding out how the seniors went. Itv4 has cycling on untill the highlights at 9 and i dont wanna spoil the fun.

You can listen to Manx radio commentary and also a live timing screen

I am glued to the computer during racing.

RE: telly box coverage.
Whilst I'm not knocking the TV coverage ( any is better than none of course ) I much prefer listening to the Manx Radio commentary. To me it's more realistic hearing the bikes coming through Glen Helen then waiting to hear Roy Moore at the Hairpin etc. Big Grin

Listening to live Manx radio, AND having the App is fantastic.

I'm on it, I forgot I can get radio on the internet, and your right the tension relayed over the radio is pretty gripping. I cant wait.

RE: telly box coverage.
Telly coverage has been great, I don't really have any complaints.
Maybe a bit more info about the TT life of some of the privateers, but over all I'll give them an 8/10.

RE: telly box coverage.
tv better this year but fri nights coverage of the senior had an awful lot of adverts and long ones,just wanted to see the race.it was 19 mins before any racing came on.ive had radio on since thursday of practice week and feel it really captures the build up and tension and atmospere .when i cant get there like this year the radio is great with good commentators with knowledge. the senior was easily the greatest race i have listened to.cant wait for manx and classic tt ,i be there 23 august.

If I'm not there then Manx AM and live timing. The TV coverage is good too but I find it irritating that they commentate on it after the race. It's almost as if they try to make themselves look clever by mentioning something before it happens.
