I don't know why it's not shown live. Surely they could do something similar that the NW200 does. I usually listen online at manx radio tt. You get more of the feel for it, than watching the highlights later.

A number of reasons.

• The costs and logistics for filming, commentating and live editing a 37 mile course live are huge.
• This is exasperated by the fact it's a time trial, so it's not just a case of keeping the cameras on the road leaders.
• There's also the likelihood of serious accidents, which the Isle of Man authorities always try to hide away from and keep very very low key.
• The schedule also changes constantly due to the weather so probably isn't very attractive to broadcasters.

You should think yourselves lucky - for those of us who have been watching for decades, the current coverage is the best we've ever had. At least you don't have to wait 2 months for the Duke VHS video anymore!

You make some very good points, hadn't considered any of that tbh.

Crazy issues with that bike... as he says 'Box full of Neutrals'... that could've been a lot worse for him... glad he's ok, Only hurt his wrist...

john mcguinness's big crash that smashed him up at the north west few weeks ago was put down to mechanical failure too

Maybe they need to pull that bike out the team... I know Guy said they aren't worried about the results as much as the bikes are still a work in progress but surely rider safety should come first

Guy Martin had quite a bad one as well. Well, could have been bad.

@Craig321 Finding a false Neutral at 140mph approaching a bend Never going to end well..

That Honda sounds like a death trap!

 

[vanpeebles]

Honda seem arl ower at the moment. Guy was really lucky!

 

[Maccapacca]

Here. Where I was last year. Sadly not there this year. Amazing week

Guy Martin pulled out of the Senior.

It's a shame but totally understandable, the Honda is at the least not competitive and at the worst a death trap. It's totally understandable but still a pity, I really do hope I see Guy win a senior one day.
