i can't believe they didn't carry it last year, and then picked it back up again this year. i got velocity last year specifically for the iomtt and they dropped it. this year, they had it and i had to move.


sorry kuro, thought you knew man, there's been a few threads on it

i love mcguiness. he's definitely my favorite racer on the iomtt. he never looks like he's even trying. that's how smooth he is.

you guys watch any of the other races? the NW200 is almost better because they race from a grid, not time trial style. and it is a faster lap than the iomtt. they draft each other multiple times down the really long straights

i know you probably mean on your bike. but they do have rentals over in europe/uk. and many people do ride the course. just search youtube it. they even do a ride for riders before on the actual course before the races kick off.

i know i will go there some day - at least i really really really really want to

speed2.com carries every other irish road race other than the TT. like i said, they're almost more impressive because they race from a grid start. if you have a cable provider, you get speed2.com access.
