TT 2018 begins tomorrow and as per usual as the TT comes along the recent good weather ..... off and leaves us with a patchy looking practice week ahead of us with dodgy conditions due to run into race week according to the long range weather forecast. :mad:

Seems to have been missed - I'll start a thread anyway.
The good news is, Chaz should be back for Laguna. Felt for Torres in race although I think it was Melandri's day sealing the 100th Italian WSB victory accomplished on an Italian bike. Chaz aside, it's been a good few weeks for Ducati...

North West 200: Alastair Seeley wins three Saturday races to complete four-timer - BBC Sport
Seeley is something else around this circuit.
Truly brilliant final Superbike race of the day, well done Glenn Irwin.
Superpole drama... Rae dawdles on the race line spoils Davies fast lap anger and apologies ensue... right up to grid interviews!! Hahaha!
Race 1
VDM barges between Hayden and Lowes runs off on turn 1, then crashes a couple of laps on... not the home race he hoped for.
Bradl takes...
Rea extends the lead from ten to fifteen over Chaz. Again, he mentions the perfect winter pre-season preparation. Remorselessly, rhythmically pounded out lap after lap.
Like last year Chaz has so much confidence in that front end.
Great last corner move from Sykes
Weekend Weather looks Sunny and in Low 20s....so should be fine for racing....

About the circuit
Specifically built for speed and exciting racing, the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia is one of the world’s best. The 2,300 acre complex which also houses a hotel, shopping centre, golf course and other sports facilities cost around £50m to construct and was built in...
The only title race not decided.
Zarco is mr consistent.
Rins is my guy. Genuinely faster, but inconsistent.
He's still in it. Just.
This will be the race of the weekend.
I want rins to win, but predict Lowes, rins, morbidelli.
Chaz has ridden impeccably since the summer break. Rider and bike both look so sorted and harmonious. Had race 2 in Lausitzring Race 2 avoided the Monsoon it would have been five in five. World Championship form.
Looking forward to the new Blade SPII next year - in spite of what will be a...
Not a huge fan of this place, although it did possibly save Steve Martin's life when as a victim of that massive crash at Turn 1 on the FP1 in '05, took a blow to the kidneys. Had he not have had the accident a malignant tumour that was discovered by a later MRI may have gone undetected...
Well WSBK is kicking off again. New circuit (they last raced there in what 2003?) but I expect the same names will still be top.
