It's not my choice but I really like that you enjoy it. I'm happy the TT is happening, the rest is just salad dressing.

1st guy to lap the TT ton-up on a single and winner of the ’62 250 on a factory Honda, #5 Derek Minter – uber-hard rider yet a touchy soul who abruptly turned his back on the Island, forever bearing a grudge after some lowlife stole £60 from him there during the ’67 races...

I love the history and old bikes. The new bikes might be too fast for this old track.

Mark Purslow has died Mark Purslow, 29, from Ceredigion has died. A statement from TT 2022 organisers reads: The Isle of Man TT Races regrets to confirm that Mark Purslow, 29, from Llanon, Ceredigion was killed in an incident during the fourth qualifying session of the 2022 Isle of Man TT Races. The accident occurred at Ballagarey, before the fourth mile marker, on his third lap of the session. Mark made his first appearance on the TT Mountain Course at the 2015 Manx Grand Prix where he won the Lightweight Race on his debut. He graduated to the Isle of Man TT Races in 2017, competing in the Supersport and Lightweight classes – 2022 was his second TT. Mark was also an experienced classic racer, competing at the Classic TT in 2016, 2018, and 2019, with a best result of 14th in the 2019 Junior Classic TT. Mark had set his fastest ever lap of the TT Mountain Course at 120.86mph earlier in the session, his first lap in excess of 120mph. The Isle of Man TT Races pass on their deepest sympathy to Mark’s family, friends, and loved ones.

Mark Purslow Racing
Mark was loved by everyone, not one person had a bad word to say about him and that's because he was an amazing person inside and out, always cracking a joke and making light of every situation with a big smile on his face, always there for other people. He loved to ride, and he knew the risks but he loved racing since such a young age. He followed dad and his talent was immense, he learnt from the best. He was getting to his peak having the best year ever with the Never Be Clever Racing team after so many years of doing it the hard way with Dad as a privateer. We are beyond heartbroken, in shock and utterly devastated. We are such a close family and this loss is so hard to bare. We wanted to say thank you to all the kind messages of support and love from everyone who knew him! We will share any news on the funeral when we have it. For now we are going to try and get some solace in the fact he always told us if he was going to go this would be the way he would want to, and that he would be smiling. He will be telling us all to stop crying, have a laugh and a drink for him, and celebrate his achievements. We love you Mark forever and always you were one in a million, always in our hearts. The Purslow family

Mat Oxley: Impressive - Hickman leading Superbike TT by around 18 seconds at half-distance, using a treaded Dunlop rear, after Dunlop withdrew thier slick rears after delamination problems at the NW200. Amazed that a treaded tyre can take such a hammering around the Mountain course

Impressive day for everyone. How these riders can even horse a Superbike for 226 miles on public roads is amazing.
