I think that a fully fit McPint will give Michael a good battle on the Superbike, is John on the Honda again next year? all seems to have gone quiet (good chance I've missed some news though as I am away working for long periods)

Glad you have come over to this site Andy. Seasons greeting to you and missus. Roll on TT

---Gary hasnt has much fortune on the superbike at the TT the past few years with his races on the his privately run Honda being blighted with breakdowns. Hopefully this new direction will have him competing for wins, because as others have stated, he would definitely be giving MD & JM a run for it!

Cheers Nev, same to you, hope you're keeping well.

It all looks good for a cracking TT with the top men getting/keeping their rides.

John McGuiness is my all time hero and just a joy to watch in the Fireblade so smooth and makes it look so effoertless but.......I now really do think that MD would beat him if it came to a race between the two of them basically because i think John is older and definatley wiser this making him ride safer and take less chances,where Michael on the other hand will do anything to win and will pass in places John wouldnt think of passing.
But as they say time will tell and i will be happy as long as everyne stays safe!!!!

Fastest man out there is older than John.

Agreed, the fastest forgotten man all round!

I think you are wrong there, he`s definitely not forgotten. Bruce just has a low profile and not in your face but if you are a TT fan then you know about him.
His problem is consistency , to slow at start or a slow lap mid race and that's where he looses it. JM has won a lot of races by being fast out of the blocks and consistent for 6 laps now most of the others realise they got to do the same to beat him.

Any rumour about the second rider ofrece Norton???
Perhaps some Lightweight specialist...for get a good result with the new project!

Don't know about the second Norton rider but supporting one has given them enough leeway to buy airspace about a new project.
