The Oracle hath spoken, so no 1/2 point for Sam .  Moving on - who, what and where?

That would be Paul Dodds on the triumph I think. But not sure where looks a bit like the Gosseneck

It is Dobbsy but not the Gooseneck. And which Triumph?

The 600 daytona. Could it be waterworks 1

Or 2nd thoughts Sulby Bridge?

Exit of Waterworks 2 (the tight one)

600 Daytona and exit of Waterworks 2. It'll be an easy one tomorrow!

I'm having 2 and a half for that

Just got to work and I didn't even get a crack at that one! Any chance you can post the next one now (it's already tomorrow here)?

I would have gone Waterworks btw. Hay bales with Marshalls stood behind just out of shot on the right - for a bonus point?

No points today as the rider should be easy but can anyone tell me the correct name for this corner and the left hander that follows it?  I genuinely don't know!

I'm thinking it's the wall at Handleys? No idea on the next corner Handleys 2?

Great to see a shot of another great rider from what is my era.  Really appreciate your work Sticky.

Hi Sam

It's taken from the bends before the Gooseneck but I don't know what they're called or even if they have a name.

I always thought it was waterworks 1 and 2 then the Gosseneck. But having a look on the Web it says tower bends is between waterworks and the Gosseneck. And thinking back I'm sure I've heard it on the commentary.
This is what iv found on the Web.
Tower Bends  25 miles  Possibly originally Tar Bend or Bends, or Tower Farm Bend or Bends.  Named after the Albert Tower (or Memorial) on the right which stands above the bends.  Below the tower is a left-hander followed by a slight left-hander.  The tower was built to  commemorate the visit to Ramsey of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on September the 20th 1847.  Albert Tower is about half a mile along the track on the inside of the course from Tower Bends.   Tower bends after the Albert Tower is a right-left.
If that helps?

Tower Bends is the right / left after exit of Waterworks then circuit runs up to the right(in pic) then left before throwing the anchor out for Gooseneck .. I can't recall ever being told a name for corners or section, Silja's blog thing doesn't have any other info apart from mention of 25th mile marker.

I'm familiar with Tower bends as the section of the course between Waterworks and the Gooseneck but obviously from my initial reply I can't place the photograph.

Handleys........what was I thinking? (in my defence I was doing it from my phone straight out of bed to try and get in first).......will be wearing the hessian shirt all day today in penance.

We may have to assume that these bends have no name?  Unless they're considered to be part of the Gooseneck...

Next pic - who is this?

Ben Dixon and Mark Lambert. And the place I'm struggling with. At a guess is it coming up to Greba Castle?

surely this is the left before Gooseneck.

Chrisp is right with the sidecar crew and Splashdown is right on the corner. Next pic coming up later

Not sure if this one is too easy or not....we shall see!
