With micheal dunlop seemingly struggling for pace at the tt ( no match for the blade) looks like he's trying it for pace on the front wheel.. Should of stuck with Honda mate
Feck youre quick to criticize!! Hes only done 2 nights of practice and it ran out of juice tonight on his flying lap so the time he has is only for a standing start. Not bad for a bike with no history or setup for the place. Also as for the landing, its said it can be better for the bike to land that way as you wont stretch the chain but id say thats a bit extreme there. Nothing counts til the racing starts !!
The BMW is bloody quick - at the NW200 it was absolutely flying as it shot past us in a 'Jesus was that Dunlop' gasp
Oh you boys might have mocked too early.... Like him or loathe him - he's one determined mofo and clearly knows his way round the island.
Guys seriously! It's obvious that he clearly missed the entrance to the McDonalds drive through on the island! I know that the HP4 had an issue recently with the front brakes locking solid but it was traced back to a faulty abs pump that was replaced and solved the issue. The customer concerned even had their bike shipped back to BMW HQ in Germany for BMW tech to look at it all FOC. Nice to see a problem taken seriously rather than denying that it exists *cough* Not a fan of MD as you know however the man can ride and bloody fast too that much I do know and although I am rooting for McG to take a few wins this year I do know that the HP4 is 3 seconds a lap quicker than the SP so McG will have his work cut out for him that is for sure. Gotta love an underdog scrap hehe!
Haha.. It's supposed to her a bit of light hearted fun. Micheal will be there it there or abouts 100 percent. That is of course as Martin says it doesn't rot from beneath him on record pace. I'm convinced the lad will do 132 this year. After mcpint has smashed it on the sp
I reckon it's gonna be too close to call to be fair McG is just so damned good and on his day even MD couldn't beat him IMO regardless of the bike. Think that much was proved last year....Taxi!
I know the BMW has the greater number of horses but handling and mid range on a road circuit should prevail? I always think Michael has to win at all costs or die trying ?
I'm sorry guys but the reason he's like this is very very obvious He's just remembered he's on a BMW and the brakes work
i heard the factory bmw team had asked him to ride on the nose as much as possible so the oil isnt in the sump as much..they were really worriede the bottom of thje sump would of corroded and started to leak befotre the end of a 6 lap tt superbile race
my ohlins forks and brembos on the sp work just fine boys.. hows your pretend brembos on the bms? are your conrods torqued up enough all jokes aside tho.. i do love the sthou.. it has a special place inside of me, unlike nick who wants to be inside the bike .. It is a bloody bonnie thing tho
