    Following on from the failures at the NW 200 the tyres are now exploding at the TT

    Amongst others Davey Todd was robbed of a chance when his rear tyre delaminated and exploded on the second lap

    I will withhold judgement. Not enough data on what he was running for tire pressure.

    Davey Todds bike was prepared by Padgetts, famed for meticulous preparation

    How about the ones at the NW200 ….also prepared by Padgetts?

    At those speeds and those roads I don't care how good of a rider you are, that's gotta have a pucker factor of 11!

    I seem to be seeing a trend there.
