http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/isle-of-man-tt-michael-dunlop-to-remain-with-tyco-bmw-in-2019/ I have mixed feelings. Glad to see him racing, because I think he can really rack up the wins. But, worried his head isn't all the way into is after all he's been through.
Just the way they are wired, there’s no changing it. No different than Simon Andrews, Hutchy, etc. just a different way of thinking and they know the risks better than anyone.
Should we expect one of them to be injured at some point in 2019 due to the "box of neutrals" ? http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/isle-of-man-tt-honda-announces-rider-lineup-for-2019/
Yeap. I remember telling Shaun from here on the BBS to walk away and that he had already done what he needed to, his names were in the books and that coming back would be a mistake.
He was wired different for different reasons I think. He never should’ve been allowed on a track at the end. He was refused a TT entry and for good reason. Wasn’t just his body he’d messed up over the years but his brain was worse. Damn shame as he had a lot of talent. Still remember when he came over and rode TJ’s bike in a wera race, he was damn fast back in the day.
Hutchy was testing the sbk last week in Spai, even took a bit of a tumble. I wasn’t there but feedback was that he was going pretty good.
I think from Dunlop we will see one extreme or the other. Either he’s going to ride to the edge and beyond or be back in 5th or 6th (which is like a major loss for a guy of his talent). That’s all that family knows, that’s their life. Would be like me getting hurt and not wanting to play with my kids outside I’d imagine.
How about.. instead... you just STFU. He will retire if and when he wants. Don’t like it? Change the channel and still.. STFU. It is literally that simple!!! Don’t ruin something for everyone because you simply cannot understand it.
McGuinnes was going pretty good when the throttle stuck and drove him straight through a fence. He left a piece of tibia on the road. That was not a neutral. I’m terrified for Lee and Hutchy......
I really feel for michael. I can't imagine being in that family and having that life. They all have racing in the blood and it has cost them ALL there lives. Micheal is arguably the best and most talented of the family. He has the potential to break joeys record and more. He also the last one left. God forbid if something happens to him it will be the end of a racing dynasty that we may never see again. Its a rock and a hard place. Personally i am so happy to see him going back out. But if we loose him i will be devastated.......
