Those people aren't mentally stable.
Agreed. You have to be a special type of mental to sit on an IKEA wardrobe door at 150mph

Chuffed for Hutchy, especially after what he's been through. You could see what it meant to him.

The photos of his foot injury and his treatment were doing the rounds again on twitter. It's amazing to see how determined he's been to get back on a bike. To come so far as to win the TT is a credit to his dedication and determination.

Great races today too!

Anyone notice they showed the superstock and supersport races on ITV yesterday the wrong way round and spoiled the result on the second one?
