TT 2018 in tweets

The fair is on the ferry and the pop-up drinking holes are nothing but a distant, slightly fuzzy memory.TT 2018 is definitely over.But before we return to humdrum of life without Bushy’s TT Village, let’s remind ourselves of the highs and lows of the last fortnight via Twitter.

The stage was set for a memorable TT and as the temperature continued to rise, so did our race fever…

Now that is a sight and sound I love ❤🏍❤ #TT2018 here we come! 🤗 @iom_tt pic.twitter.com/YKSjdp8jMG

Lap and race records were set to fall, but this legend wouldn’t be adding to his tally…

By his own admission, Hutchy wasn’t on race pace…

But his reputation helped this guy to a few more followers…

Local production company Greenlight Television was back in charge of TV coverage, adding two new faces to the presentation team…

Practice week was, quite literally, flying by

And the weather made us feel like we were all on our hols…

But with the massive highs came the devastating lows. Local hero Dan Kneen lost his life during Wednesday night’s practice session

Racing got underway on Saturday 2nd June. Hope they chose chips, cheese and gravy!

Michael Dunlop added to his impressive tally (how is he still only 29?!)

Dean Harrison gained plenty of new fans…

Peter Hickman’s lap record in the Senior Race handed the title of the World’s Fastest Road Race back to the TT

One of our local heroes and the ‘Coffee King’ kept our engines lit with two podium finishes…

While the original ‘Manx Missile’ was full of praise for the riders

Away from the bikes, Après TT was life…

As were the selfies…

(From 2014 but it’s fine!) 

And we all clambered for a pic of HRH…

In summary: TT2018 was pretty exceptional, wasn’t it?

#TT2018 going out with a bang. We hope you have all had as much fun as we have 💫💥✨ pic.twitter.com/imXqsdpcAH
