Thanks Elaine for the videos . Todays shows the emotions riders and helpers go through. I have been there too. Once you get home and the the Manx blues disappear I wonder if Steve will change his mind for next year. Perhaps with less bikes. Anyway congrats to you all, including Kevin and the music is perfect for the video. Thank you
Thank you. It’s been a tough decision but the cost emotionally financially and physically is so high. Watch this space for his next adventures! We very much hope we can return to Ireland and travel to the continent and Steve has a dream for his 60th which means going state side
i loved,loved,loved following the dilligaf family racing adventures in the manx GP. love the organic,still quite professional quality of the videos,you guys rocks.sad to learn it was steve's last manx,because i'm late to the party,first time ever i've looked at your videos which,if i understand correctly,were the lasts ever concerning steve racing on the island ....but whatever,love you guys,kudo to steve and the team for your dedication and personal investment into the whole effort,and of course,i cannot forget KEVIN's contribution, the eternal smile on his face is really enjoyable,love the pitdoodle presence.
Thank you so much for all your kind words. Kevin is quite the star of the show. It’s been a tough decision but onto pastures new and new exciting adventures
What an epic day, 3 races and some enduro! I bet Steve slept well on Saturday night. Loved the vlogs, it’s been really great so see what goes on behind the scenes to get a bike to the start line. Gutted that’s it’s your last Manx as I’ve only just found you, I’ve a sneaking suspicion there might be a return in the future 🤔😁. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and good luck for the future.
Well, what can you say 2 incredible people who have got a heart of gold Elaine is absolutely fantastic. Without Elaine's help, I wouldn't be looking to start my first season next year. Racing Steve is an absolute gentleman, and I will be picking his brains for all the advice I can get. We'll done to you guys and the team good job 👏
Fantastic job ste, to do the racing and enduro green laning too, he must have slept well last night, big thanks to the owner of the 300 ktm and his mates for the time.
Elaine you need to give up the cigars as you sound like your pushing the bike, lol. Loving your coverage, Steve had a humongous mileage to cover, hope he loved it.
@@dilligafracing517 glad you finished with a dance and a good night and hopefully a few beers, the main thing is your riders road and concerned the best road circuit in the world and lived to tell your gran kids. X
I too got emotional, I truly get it, I retired in 96 from motocross, that's probably why I still race mtb for fun, thanks for everything and enjoy today and tomorrow's race.
Well done, Steve and Elaine. I can understand, that have taken the decision not to return for racing. I‘ve been at MGP2007 with just one bike - and broke down in the race just before Ballaugh in the 1st lap. And returnIng for at least the Pre-TT Classic is now extremely costly for us ‚continentals‘ as all events on the IOM are now national and not ‚european open‘ anymore since 2019. The insurance alone costs a fortune! Enough mourned - let‘s celebrate your successful MGP2023 assault! All the best for your next ventures!
Thank you yes it is a huge cost not just financially but emotionally and physically too. Thank you for your support and can’t wait for our next adventure to begin
Great video stories. Loving the realism having done the Manx in 2014.
Thank you

Ballacob is a small lane leading to an enduro tack over the mountain
That’s the track he came back to they paddock on then!
Elaine you need to give up the cigars as you sound like your pushing the bike, lol. Loving your coverage, Steve had a humongous mileage to cover, hope he loved it.
I ran and walked 20k round the paddock yesterday!!! And danced the night away!!!

great efforts all round. Well done. Come back to 125cc paddock, it's cheaper and almost as much fun!
We don’t have a 125 anymore but want to do Fab and the pit bikes next year
Hope you all had a great day and everything went to plan.
It didn’t go to plan!!!!
Still watching if you need any help Monday let me know, I live here.
@@Extremegaz25 thank you we are just packing up and hopefully get a few days rest in Port Erin
