* Honda Racing UK’s Dean Harrison thinks it’s incredibly tough to predict, who will be triumphant in race week’s Supersport, 1000cc contests.
“It’s impossible to predict who is going to be challenging for the win – at-the moment it looks like everyone on the seeded list can come in looking confident, to a degree.
It’s going to be extremely fast, there are a lot of guys and a lot of bikes who are in form, so we need to hit the ground running, get the setup sorted as quickly as possible and get some fast laps under us belts.”
* Harrison’s team-mate, John McGuinness MBE, emphasised recently his love for the world’s most recognised road race.
“I still love the whole TT package. There’s the track itself, the people around it – nothing really compares to it.
I’ve done a lot of things in racing all over the world, but the TT is just another level, and it brings it home to you that we’re still allowed to do this type of thing – and long may it continue.”
