mereside Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Im sure Guy will win a tt sooner or later. And Guy looks smooth on a bike compared to michael dunlop how he stays on at times i really dont know!! try and get some footage from north west or scarbourgh gold cup you will see what i mean, I know what you mean though as he is all over the shop seems strange for him to adopt a style like that from having robert and joey riding so smooth, atb wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRNDL Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Love it and love him. Hes a true legend. With them chops, a mug of tea constantly in his hand hes a true Brit!!!! If your a fan of him or the TT then watch the TT:Closer to the edge film. Its immense. A real insight into the nut cases that race. And guy is the main focus of the film. You wont regret watching it.

sheene7 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 he is a top bloke ,have met him ,just wish he could win the senior tt .for his sake . Love to see him win it , but he has said that he will most likely walk away from the TT if he ever wins there , and find a new challenge . That would be a great shame if he did , but I suppose he has used up all his luck on the island, and I would rather see him win a race there and then walk away in one piece.

Dunkield Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 So if flying comes down to power to weight ratio, I would like to see that plane fly again with a lighter more powerful rider and also a lighter bike installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 So if flying comes down to power to weight ratio, I would like to see that plane fly again with a lighter more powerful rider and also a lighter bike installed. and also a smoother pilot so it didn't keep Porpoising and losing speed on the climb. Awesome bloke, one of life's gems and loving the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have to think that if they could have got a proper pro bike rider to do it even one of the women riders and as it was just for short bursts they would probably do better than him and not be so heavy.

What they needed [imo] is the lightest carbon bike money can buy and a super light powerful rider to pedal it, Laura Trott springs to mind - but then she often does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
