Tourist Trophy 2016 (TT Isle of Man 2016)

[BMIWEL]

Artículo en El País de hoy a raíz de la muerte de Salom, sobre los fallecidos  en competiciones de motociclismo.
Ni mención al TT.

Lo que pasó ayer mueve a reflexión sobre la dureza de este deporte y la "irracionalidad" del TT, prueba que a mi me produce sentimientos encontrados...

Supongo que el eterno conflicto entre seguridad y libertad, acentuado más aún cuando la libertad es la personal e individual.
Saludos.

Cuando la libertad es la personal e indvidual deja de haber conflicto, el supuesto conflicto es artificial y fruto del proteccionismo puritanista que invade prácticamente todo aquello que se magnifica públicamente.

A un domador de leones no se le plantea dilema alguno desde terceros. Ni a un alpinista ni a un funambulista.

Muy de acuerdo.

Y hoy victoria de Hutchy en la primera carrera de Supersport.
Segundo Michael Dunlop.
Tercero Dean Harrison.

HUTCHINSON BREAKS RACE RECORD TO WIN MONSTER ENERGY SUPERSPORT 1 Spacer
Spacer
Spacer Ian Hutchinson took his 12th TT win on Monday morning when he dominated the Monster Energy Supersport race from start to finish.  The CAME BPT Yamaha rider defeated Michael Dunlop by 14.3s in a race-record winning time with Silicone Engineering rider Dean Harrison taking third.

Hutchinson signalled his intentions from the off and by Glen Helen on the opening lap, he’d already opened up a three-second lead over Harrison with Dunlop a further tenth back in third as James Hillier, Lee Johnston and John McGuinness completed the top six. Michael Rutter was reported out at Ballacraine though with Peter Hickman stopping at Greeba making adjustments and eventually retiring on the opening lap.

At the head of the field Hutchinson was pressing on, extending his advantage all the time and with a lap of 127.872mph, his lead was now over ten seconds as Dunlop moved up to second with Harrison dropping back to third.  Hillier, Johnston and McGuinness maintained their places in the top six.

Dunlop was unable to make any inroads into Hutchinson’s lead, which was seen with the Bingley Bullet’s second lap at 128.72mph, extending his lead to 12.8s with Dunlop enjoying a similar gap to Harrison. Conor Cummins moved into fourth ahead of Hillier and McGuinness while the second lap saw a number of high profile retirements including Bruce Anstey, Ivan Lintin, Martin Jessopp and Dan Cooper.

The leading duo matched each other in the pits and by Ramsey on the third lap Hutchinson lead was over ten seconds and the Yorkshireman was also at the front of the pack on the roads, having overhauled Hillier, McGuinness and Anstey on the first two laps. Harrison was comfortable in third and a lot of attention fell on the battle for fourth with little to choose between Cummins, Hillier and McGuinness.

With conditions on the island again perfect, Hutchinson could ride to his signals in the closing lap and a half and although he encountered traffic on the final lap, he duly came home for his 12th TT win – his seventh in the Supersport class – by over 14 seconds from Dunlop who had a 38.6s gap over Harrison.

The battle for fourth went all the way to the wire before Hillier secured it by the narrow margin of 0.7s from Cummins with McGuinness only a further four seconds back in sixth.

Lee Johnston, William Dunlop, Steve Mercer and Gary Johnson rounded out the top ten with the latter losing valuable time in the pits when his Triumph refused to fire at the end of the second lap.

Dan Hegarty had been running in an excellent tenth and looked like he’d again take the maximum points in the TT Privateer’s Championship but he unluckily retired at Glen Helen on the final lap and that allowed 12th placed James Cowton to take the 25 points followed by Jamie Coward (13th) and Rob Hodson (14th).

Es de la escuela de McGuinness, pueden transferir el peso donde quieran cuando hacd falga :)
En la web de tus jefes pone 76kg para 180cm. Viendo la foto le pasa como a Fenati...

A Hutchy también le sobran cm pero a lo alto para meterse en las 600

[bujias]

Parece ser que Dunlop ha sido descalificado ya que su moto incumplia una norma.
Han aclarado que la infraccion no mejoraba nada la eficacia o el rendimiento de la moto, pero que no era legal ... asi se las gastan en el TT

[bujias]

Por otro lado, el desafio Subaru de hoy ha dado en revolcon al concepto ... han bajado el record de 19:15 a unos muy interesantes 17:49 a una media de 126,971 m/h ... creo que el Miercoles hacen una segunda intentona ... no es una moto, pero es un motor en el circuito del TT

Ian Hutchinson made it two wins in a day when he smashed the lap and race records in Monday afternoon’s RL360 Quantum Superstock TT race, the Tyco BMW rider leading from start to finish to take victory by 27 seconds.

With an opening lap of 133.098mph, it was the Bingley rider’s 13th TT race win as Dean Harrison and James Hillier battled all the way for the runner up position, Harrison clinching it by just one second.

As he had done earlier in the morning, Hutchinson blazed a trail from the off and he was again leading at Glen Helen on the opening lap, his advantage over Michael Dunlop two seconds with Gary Johnson a similar distance behind in third. It was close behind the leading trio with Michael Rutter, Peter Hickman and Hillier separated by just three-quarters of a second.

It was clear Hutchinson was putting in a remarkable lap and so it proved as he flashed across the line at a speed of 133.098mph, faster than he’d done in Saturday’s RST Superbike race. The gap to Dunlop had grown to 15.9s but the Ulsterman was in trouble, pulling into the pits with a broken gear lever. Hillier had moved up to third with Harrison, Johnson and Lee Johnston now the top six.

Hutchinson was by now leading on the road and with Dunlop out, retiring in the pits, his advantage over Hillier shot up to 24s at Glen Helen and he continued to increase his lead throughout the lap. Indeed, with a second lap of 132.93mph, the gap to Hillier had grown to 32.7s with the Kawasaki rider enjoying a six second lead over Harrison.

Johnston was now fourth ahead of Rutter and Gary Johnson as Bruce Anstey and Peter Hickman also retired. Meanwhile, 12th placed Ivan Lintin picked up a pit-lane speeding penalty dropping him down the order.

With a commanding lead, Hutchinson could control the race from the front and that’s exactly what he did over the next two laps with his final lap being over 129mph.   

However, the battle for second and third was raging between Hillier and Harrison with just over a second dividing them on the third lap while there was also a four-way battle going on for fourth between John McGuinness – who again gained time at the pit stop - Johnston, Johnson and Rutter.

Harrison had now overtaken Rutter on the road and the pair of them both lapped at over 131mph on their final laps which enabled Dean to take second and Rutter fourth, Hillier just missing out on second by 1.9s. Rutter got the better of Johnson for fourth by 3.2s and with Johnston retiring at Sulby Crossroads, McGuinness took sixth.

Conor Cummins, William Dunlop, Steve Mercer and David Johnson rounded out the top ten, having missed out in the morning’s race.

Hutchinson has now moved to the top of the race for the Joey Dunlop Championship with 70 points and with Dunlop retiring, Harrison movea up to second on 47 points with Dunlop remaining on 45 in third.

Meanwhile, Dan Hegarty was again the top privateer in an excellent 11th place. Horst Saiger was the second privateer home in 13th overall with Jamie Coward third and 14th overall.

Hegarty leads the overall privateers table on 50pts followed by Coward on 47 and Saiger 46.

Absoutamente épico lo de Hurchy. Personalmente , no daba un duro porque pudiera volver a dominar como lo hizo antes de darse el macrohost... del siglo.

No daba un duro por su cuerppo, no es que dudara de él.

No sé si hay alguien que haya vuelto a ganar un tt después de semejante ristra de lesiones. En mi opinión, estamos ante un logro que quedará para los  anales de la historia del TT.

[joSe.77]

Los de itv4 le dedicaron uno de los programas de estos días. 'Hutchy, miracle man'. Y no hace falta decir mucho más... salvo que fue un reportaje magnífico. Si podéis, echadle un ojo.

Vaya año lleva McPint :-(

[el chino]

Mac Guinness ganará el sénior. Y si no al tiempo. Cada vez le cuestan más las otras categorías, pero el senior es como el patio trasero de su casa.
