I`m enjoying this post nice to read the different opinions. Coming back to the Senior Dean Harrison seemed to have the run to Ballacraine
nailed and was around 3.5 seconds quicker on the big bikes than Dunlop but in the Senior he was only about 2 seconds down so I thought he was more on it until the oil situation. Regarding lap speeds they were unbelievable but how safe were they. Somebody posted on here Hickman passing 3 back markers through Rhencullen ,how safe is that? and on the last lap Roy Moore said Hickman was going to catch a number of back markers yet he broke the sector record to the Bungalow, how did he deal with the back markers? and some footage I`ve seem in my opinion he seemed to be pushing it beyond safe limits on some corners. So how safe was Hickman`s lap and was he riding it like a short circuit? MD as I have said respects the yellows and also the back markers as shown in the Superstock race on the mountain which may have cost him the race? MD got it wrong this year but his quick laps are probably a lot safer than Hickman or Harrison. Perhaps Splashdown would like to comment as he is the man whose been there and done it and is opinion is to be respected.
