NW200 Coverage
« on: May 11, 2016, 05:44:23 PM »
BBC1 NI 10.35pm. This is a huge event here, but to be honest, the Ulster Grand Prix in August is better IMHO    ;)
Namaste

Not at the racing today, but watching online. Excellent coverage. Two more NW200 progs, Sunday at 10.30pm, and Monday at 10.45pm on BBC1 NI.

Cheers Tim, watched the program the other night on the NW, loved it but not good about Ryan and Dan, although Dan was ok....hope Ryan gets well soon. Look forward to the rest of the coverage on BBC NI  :) Our Dan has got a broken arm after a fall off his mountain bike  ::)

Sick to the pit of my stomach this evening, after the death of young Malachi.

I know things didn`t turn out good at this years NW but I`d just like to say the "coverage" on BBC NI was excellent. I watched every program, thoroughly enjoyed it, it`s amazing seeing the riders 4 or 5 abreast at 200mph ..... crackers  :o I loved the moment when Michael Dunlop and Michael Rutter looked at each other, flat out at over 200mph, and waved  :o 8) 8) The weather looked amazing, the place looked amazing and some great racing.
 
TT next............so let`s all expect rain, wind and maybe some snow in the next 3 weeks  ???  ;)

I find this completely gobsmacking! Must have a look on iPlayer, YouTube etc. Thanks.

There were three NW programs and I think "the wave" was on the second program but I`d recommend watching them all. It`s actually called "bikes - north west 200"  ;)
