The Mountain Course is something you should build up to over the years, not trying to take the 'skin off it' in such a short period of time. Peter may or may not have a natural talent for racing on the road circuits, but there are many before him that have tried to do the same thing only to get serious injurys or worse.

Sorry I don't agree, Everything I've seen of him is exactly how the TT course should be approached, he did his homework in his first year and ended it with a stunning lap of 129mph but always looked tidy and in control, this year he hasn't sat on his laurels and thought that it would come easy but he's kept working hard and learning lap by lap, again looking very tidy in doing so to up his game to lap at 131mph, I'm sure he's had moments because going at that speed it's impossible not to but he doesn't look like a rider that's on the ragged edge everywhere unlike some other BSB riders recruited to the TT in recent years.
To say it's too quick too soon, nobody but Peter himself will know how comfortable he is at those speeds and he doesn't come across as the type of person to be pushing himself over the limit on a regular basis, as a rider myself you know where your limits are and you don't want to go over them especially at the TT but everybody is different and have different levels of ability, you didn't hear anybody saying Marc Marquez was moto gp champion too quickly so why not applaud the lad in what is a historic moment and realise that we may just be witnessing a future TT star making a name for himself.
If he'd have come from Ireland and been doing the Irish nationals for a while before he made his TT debut instead of BSB I don't think this would even be an issue, he would be an instant hero just like many others before him, the fact that he's gone a hell of a lot faster than anyone before in his first two years is irrelevant.
Good on him and long may it continue.
