118 on Virgin
Was a cracking start to the racing!
They ARE fecking nuts!
How hard was Bruce Ansty trying on the last lap?
The comment that boggled my mind was "They start with a full tank and cold tyres, and after 500 metres they're doing 190mph!" (they
were talking about the fact that riders have to be at 100% effectiveness from the instant they start - no "warm up" time).

These men are incredible and no blubbering about the tragic loss of Simon Andrew’s in the North West 200, but sure to be in everyone’s minds and thoughts not least team mate John McGuinness.
