Ain't gamblin' man but would not put a penny on sidecars for tonight. Willing to bet that tomorrow night is all sidecars despite what is advertised :evil:

Last night's TT Previex they showed two pairs of chairs at a distance and that was that :evil: Are we all invisible, in a prallel universe or just persona non grata?
It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

Sidecars on now.. (Sunday). Whitham and Steve Plater doing commentary doing a good job, both taking the race seriously and showing it respect...Whitham also speaks as though he's knowledgeable.

Only way it could be better would be if they showed there was more than 6 Bikes in the Race :?
blah....blah....blah....

Brilliant coverage of the top of the field, but have to agree - it would have been nice to have at least seen all off the line.
Life should not be a journey to the grave arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body! You should skid in sideways - beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out screaming Woo Hoo - what a ride!

I thought the onboard stuff was very good.
Such a shame that they only showed a few of the bikes - but at least we got to see some!!

HUGE respect for anyone that's been round the course! Simply awesome! :notworthy: :notworthy:

Was good coverage. Although at the start they made a mistake saying Moly was fastest lap holder, that belongs to nicky crowe - 116.667

Jamie has passengered many years ago, I'm sure, as has Charlie Williams, and John McG is a great supporter of sidecars. Moly has most wins, and considering how many opportunities a solo rider has to win as opposed to solos...his record is phenomenal. Nick is still fastest ever, though. Both are amazing, as are the likes of Coxy, Rick Long etc. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Yep, I agree - I thought the coverage was fair. Would have been good to see some of the other runners but then again the solo coverage only follows the top riders and the producers have to stick to strict time restrictions. So let's be positive and not appear to be a load of whingers...

Agreed,and to be fair,it was more like top 7 got good coverage,which is probably as good as any race on TV,plus a glimpse of Rob/Ken and Shandy/Lee 8-)

I've been watching this thread below with interest (and a few others on there ;) ),as Bruv (in Oz) has not been able to access ITV Player,as it seems only available from a UK server

Seems for anyone outside UK you can get around it by paying £5 a month (maybe only every June 8-) )
Unless anyone knows different ;)

Get someone in the UK to send you a remote assistance request (start - help & support - ask for assistance) and leave the request open for the duration of the TT. You are then able to control the UK computer from your keyboard and mouse but you watch the same screen. You need a willing relative or friend because they need to trust you to access their pc. ;)

I watched the 125's gp last night and wished they would keep going back to the leaders so I guess they can't win.
