David Griffiths Wrote:The TV coverage so far has been absolutely superb, and has taken coverage of the event onto a level never seen before. The shots from the helicopter of Cameron Donald going over the Mountain on his 131mph lap were incredible, and showed in graphic detail how hard the bikes have to work (oh, and the riders as well!). Being able to hear the noise of the bike as well was great.

The presenters are knowledgeable and very professional, there have been a wide variety of features and the whole package has been brilliant. There have been a few mistakes, but a heck of a lot fewer than in previous years. I had to chuckle at the 3-D map of the TT Course taking the course from the Gooseneck up onto the summit of North Barrule and right across the top of the ridge down to the Black Hut. Might be a few extra problems with mist up there, not to mention gearing and tyre problems!

I have really enjoyed this year's TT so far - brilliant performances from the riders and generally excellent organisation. The only downside for me was witnessing Scott Jensen's horrific crash at Union Mills on Wednesday - thank God it seems not to have been as bad as it looked at the time. The great weather during Practice Week was such a contrast to the Arctic conditions for Practice last year. Let's hope for more of the same next week, and safe racing.

David the sound effects were edited on Cams run over the mountain, watch it again and listen to the TAS bike changing down going up to Bradewell (they up the gears)
