Great photos there. These are not up to the same standard (I borrowed a camera for the earlier few races but only had my phone for the pro race). There is a couple of Hal at the front of the group in the 3rd's race. There's also one of the "skil" rider hitting the deck at the chicane at the start of the final straight. He did get up afterwards but he wasn't given another TT bike, the carbon handlebars on the crashed one were completely smashed, held together with the brake cable. He must have been tanking it cos he was on the ground for a long time and his avg speed for the lap was still 30mph (winning time was 39.6mph avg).
