The accident did not happen on the TT coarse it was on the Billown Course during a classic race. Tragic as it was everyone assumes it's was on the TT coarse.

Its sad that another person has passed, but they've done it doing something they loved i guess.

That aside, it's looking like it will be a good couple of weeks racing.

Hutchy has already got into the 130mph average this evening.

I recommend everyone to watch the Monday's episode of TT coverage on ITV. It was about Hutchy and was excellent to see what he has been through to get where he is now.

Its not going well at this years TT!!

Also a Hull man has lost his life and I think he was a spectator!

He was involved in a collision with another bike that was two up riding in the opposite direction

Congrats to Micky D in the superbike race yesterday, obliterating the lap record in the process. I was there in 2014 when he won 4 TT's, my money's on him doing it this year.

The 133.393 lap was his second lap, however he did beat the standing record on his first lap with a 133.369. Massive difference I know his first lap was the sub 17 though .
