Splat or Guy?? - thewitch - 29-05-2008
Who thinks Steve Plater is going to pull off a few surprises and leave Guy crying into his big mug of tea and who thinks this is going to be the year of Martin Mania?

Top 3 for Steve maybe but he won't beat The Carrot Cruncher
RE: Splat or Guy?? - Phil Windrum - 29-05-2008
If it was a two man race Guy would cream it, I'm sure a few other blokes will have a say?

Totally agree. The TT is a different proposition from anything SP has done before. Yes he was impressive last year but the level required to win something around the mountain is beyond him I reckon. That's not to say he isn't a mega rider....I just think the TT podium is out of his reach....he may get close but not close enough to be on any of the steps.
RE: Splat or Guy?? - Stella - 29-05-2008
Am a big Steve Plater fan of many years, undoubtly got the talent, yes top 3 is a possibility but kind of hope he serves his TT aprenticeship before aiming for the top step.
RE: Splat or Guy?? - pykey - 29-05-2008
I reckon Archie and flyin Ryan could be a big threat if the machines hold together but i suppose Guy will give them a run its so open but i wouldnt like to bet on who will win? incidently can one bet on the TTresult.
RE: Splat or Guy?? - marshall2 - 29-05-2008
I think Plater is in with a shout for a podium, But I reckon Guy will be the biggest threat this year. Archie is looking in top form aswell. I think Ryan could be a threat aswell. I've got my money on Guy though. He looked awesome at the NW200 and I think if his bike hadn't broke he would have dominated the second superbike race. Hopefully he can grab atleast 1 win this year. Never discount Anstey either, especially on the stocker. I wouldn't be suprised to see Lougher and Donald on the box either.

Don't discount Steve Plater too quickly, I reckon its gonna be a hell of a quick week. Favourites for wins Guy Martin, Steve Plater,John McGuiness, and I think these 3 will be pushing harder than anybody else all week.
These are HARD riders.

I hear ye Russ...and I agree with ye as well but for what it's worth, my money is on wee Cam. Remember he went to TT06 with damaged heels and 1st time round the mountain on a SBK finished 20 seconds behind McG...in 2nd place and with a 3rd quickest lap of all time to his credit.
Last year he didn't make it due to his off at the NW breaking his collarbone.
He is there this year, fully fit and on sorted TAS bikes and in great spirits (I was chattin to him today and he's totally chilled and focussed)....I say again...do not discount this man for the TOP step in either SBK or stocker.
(as long as they all ride hard - and come home safe...we will all be winners then)

You know what to tell him from me BOSS
RE: Splat or Guy?? - crazy blanket - 29-05-2008
Consider it done fella
RE: Splat or Guy?? - Stella - 29-05-2008
Yes looking good, as long as they all bring it home safely.
Being honest altho hez Scottish i dont really know Keith that well, clearly has a talent for the roads though.
Still got a special place for Les Shand though, and hes fit this year ! been unlucky with injuries in the past .
Always remember a long chat we had in the caraven at Knockhill when Les first wanted to go to the TT.
Good luck to them all.
