RE: Could this be JM130's last TT?
Winning a Senior, the race that has always been dubbed "The Blue Riband" is clearly on most TT racers 'bucket list'. It's pretty much always been held on the last race day - Friday, by which time most participants have had a good few laps - both in practice, and other races. Even if Sir McPint didn't exactly excel in other classes, he got a fair few 'sighting' laps, to plan his campaign for today's incredible spectacle. Lap records, nor 7 Senior victories come easy, and the man and machine were in perfect tune for yet another stamp on that much coveted trophy. Nobody can take his achievement away, in beating both younger and older riders to the finish line - and any suggestions he'd lost what it takes seem very banal tonight. I listened to the race on the radio, from Austin Texas USA - and missed the spectacle of seeing history being made, but - the excitement from the commentating crew was palpable, and it was an epic race - in every way possible. Thanks to Manx Radio for broadcasting it, to all the commentary team for spot on reporting, the organizers for making the absolute best of yet another 'difficult' fortnight, but mostly to JM for proving what sheer dedication can achieve.
