TT 2019 Contains Race Results and Spoilers
Looks like weather is cancelling a lot of the pratice sessions so riders are getting very limited practice time.
With limited track time, poor conditions and little rubber laid down it's unlikely to see records broken this year and most races will be won with relatively slow lap times.
On Tuesday Hutchy has crashed, Hicky had bike trouble and Dunlop was slow to start, so withonly really Harrsion making a good start to the fortnight and combining all the above, you would think experience and track knowledge could offer a decent advantage.
Begs the question could there be a fairytale come back win or podium for a certain Brickie from Morecombe here's hoping

Re: TT 2019
I think customers have been told they won't get their bikes til late summer. That probably why. They are all out racing.

Re: TT 2019
That BMW has mighty impressive stats but it still isn't exciting - great for racing, not for road or trackdays

Re: TT 2019
Looks good, strong engine and great chassis.. just not exciting.
Good news is, with a full system and tune it'll produce as much power as a HP4 Race

Re: TT 2019
I've not ridden the 2019 model so I've no idea if it's dull or not.
They seem to be quick out of the box. BMW have got that bit right.

Re: TT 2019
Will they run a fully wet race?
I know they hold race starts for damp patches or fog but would a fully wet race on wet tyres over a shorter distance go ahead?

Re: TT 2019
Quite a few riders still need to qualify.
One of the sessions today is superbike/superstock and new comers all on track together
