RE: Peter Hickman
Really fascinating thread - Peter Hickman is exceptionally fast and obviously wants to reach the top now ….not in a few years …………...and maybe for someone who has been going to the TT since 1978 helped by the ferry being 15 minutes away - it leads me to ask where is the TT going? (Its not an old chestnut that is raised by knockers only -its a sound question ) To be honest when the speed hit 120 average I thought that was crazy and the 130 equally so. But is the only goal now sub 17 and 140 by say 2030

But back in the day the weather conditions didn't seem to be such an extreme factor (maybe I can say that easier as I am not riding the TT) but what shocked me this year was not Hutchy clipping the hedge as he passed me at Sulby at 190 or Bruce having a mighty lucky experience on Bray Hill or the Senior being Red flagged again but what shocked me was the complete state of emotional and physical collapse that the riders seemed to be in at the end of the race with James Hillier being the most obvious.

Don't know the answer and maybe the risks are still as manageable at 132 as 120 - don't know ? Does the TT need a record every year or two to boost the marketing ? Would people stop going if say the record only moved every five years?
