Hutchy is racing. He raced at the Macau GP last November and finished 3rd.
He re-broke the same leg again (but not same place) in February and had another external fixater on. He had the fixater removed on the Monday, did a trackday on the Wednesday to get the bikes and himself dialled in then the week after was racing at the NW200 last week The results wern't that good but who would want to go elbow to elbow on the roads in a mass starts race on your first race back!! He should do well at the TT again as it'll be him racing the road not smashing fairings with others! Oh, and he's doing right foot gear changes and using a thumb operated rear brake

You can use this for timings through the stages, also speeds through the speed traps

Does anyone know how much it would cost to go to the TT for the full 2 weeks? As in an all in cost, including ferry/accommodation/food/tickets etc.
And Shelly, I love that app!

That would depend on lots of things, where you stay, boat is always cheaper than flying etc its more expensive than the mainland anyway there

Well could it be done for less than £500? Even just staying for just the race week?

Would need to sort early

I don't drink so beer ain't needed. Is accommodation dear for the race week?

I imagine the prices go up at that time of the year as do ferry/plane prices too. You would probably need more than £500 as you will have the days inbetween to try and amuse yourself
