From corner entry to exit, clocking 124mph average around the 37.73-mile Mountain Course is not sane. Harrison holding off Coward by just 0.3 seconds tells you Greenall Racing's two bikes are genuinely going at each other. I can't look away from qualifying three.

124.721mph as an average speed is genuinely monstrous.

Wait, this is on public roads right? Just imagining it scares me.

Getting this hyped over just qualifying seems a bit early.

McGuinness still pulling 111mph-plus is genuinely amazing.

Harrison vs Coward, that 0.3-second gap is insane tension!

Still, Michael Dunlop ends up getting all the attention anyway.
