Absolutely what you just said!! It’s brilliant, and on par with that ‘Drive To Survive’. (And it’s nice to see how the TT lads are still human, and not corporate robots!) Excellent work.

I second this sentiment whole heartedly
Theres nothing more Beautiful & Deadly than the Isle of Man TT.
So amazing
Nice one 👍🏴
"You're racing the circuit, you're racing yourself" That has got to be the essence of the TT Fabulous.
That summary about the 10-second gap is simply beautiful. And that last part when the engines come back in near 11:16 is just magic. Every time I repay this video I get chills. And I have watched this video more times than I can count.

Simply.... Simply Excellent
The wait is over finally! pick up my new XSR700 end of the month, these series help me stay patcient.
TT gives me goosebumps every time. Great video, where was Michael Dunlops video feature?
The years flash past faster and faster as you get older, hate that.. but, it does bring the TT round again quicker, love that..
Phenomenally good series. Well done to all those involved - this certainly wets the appetite for the 2023 TT. Thanks
Absolutely loving this series. More of this from the tt please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 these are real warriors
The media team working on all of this content has done an amazing job of making us all think about the tt all year round, not just may and June. I'm very impressed, and it's fantastic for the tt itself
Such a beautiful series ❤️
Super,Labombastic,Fantastic,Školastic!!!👍👏🤘👃👂🦵💪🤝😍🏍️💓🏝️🐬🐳🐟🐠😇⛽🚦⚓🧭💯👀🪂🏊🫁🧠🫀☀️🌛🐢🐘🦏🐪🐫🦧🐒🦈🦑🙏
It's the purity of the TT of just rider, road , and machine that I find so appealing. It's the same for me as a rider, track days are fun but it just doesn't compare to when it's just me, my trusty ol' 996 and a fantastic empty road. Even if that road isn't quite as good as what the TT course would be!
Love It! Going and seeing this race is on the bucket list!
❤❤❤ dream come true ❤❤❤
Thumbs up to the music editor! Epic music.
Awesome series........Thanks
The starter has so much responsibility, he will be the last person to touch the riders with his tap on the shoulder to send them off, and unfortunately it will be the last contact for some. Ten seconds, tap on the shoulder then hurtling down Glencrutchry Road like a missle, wonderful stuff indeed.
Just thinking about riding my bike in anger round this scares me but riding a 200bhp+ superbike round that at those speeds is something else entirely. Hats off to these lads absolutely mental but the thrill and experience must be something else! Thank you for this series, it's eye opening on another level
*This* is the greatest show on earth.
1:38 Hold the revs, and hold the nerves, before the tap that sets you free.
This is an awesome behind the scenes look…these guys are incredible at what they do!
No other race in the world gives me goosebumps like the TT does!
The dialogue from the narrator.. gives me goosebumps. He knows how to put the awe of this race into words
Each episode is a wonderful love letter to the TT, the island and it’s challenges. Internal and external.
Awesome series need to be longer though I need hours of this Content 😂😂
These riders really are true Gladiators thankyou to all for doing this series ,very enjoyable
Love the Island of Man TT races and the people there

You can feel how passionate about the tt everyone is in the video. You can feel it from the people behind the camera as well.
That tap on the shoulder sends shivers through me. Possibly the last person to be with these guys before sending them on their way to make history. What a race!

Excellent series. Just on a side note, at 10:57, there’s a typo on Dean’s Superbike lap record, stating 132.432mph rather than 134.432mph.

Yes, it is important to proof read these things before release. As a former printer, I absolutely hate seeing sloppy errors like this. The rest of the video is great. TT admin crew should do better !

Love these
I went to the TT in 2014 - from NZ - been a dream since the old dude next door would give me his bike mags with black leathers and pudding basin helmets - 40 years later I got there. There is a 'magic' there - the energy you feel, that power just in the air is not just bikes and people, It was a magical place long before the TT . manx cats, 6 horned sheep, shire horses pulling the trams - the ravens! even the critters were 'different' . .
respect
Cant wait👊✊️💨💨💨💨
A true definition of bravery
Guy Martin has the best pre race ritual. Guy drives his van to the beach spends the night in the back listening to the ocean, wakes up has a wank and then proceeds to do 200 mph in the TT. Guy is a Maverick of the TT
Going out No 1 or No 20 on the road isn't the issue for me. It's just going out and going full bore on the TT circuit. I wouldn't mind doing a leisurely lap, well within my limits, but that'd probably take me at least 40 mins per lap . So respect to those who can do it anywhere sub 25 mins , let alone the 16 mins 42 seconds that Hicky has done !
Sooo good.
Wow, just wow!! Hats off 🫠🤘
8:16 to 8:30 perfect picture. I don't know where in this video but, WHEN you're in a turn and you see a straight line between the turns ahead of you, you pin it, and your front end rises up you've already straightened for the most part and you gas forward. It's just you and the machine and at a moment like that, you're not letting anything stop you.
Very well done. Also,they need a turbo class...
Big up ,all TT racers
Narrator's script is wonderful
❤️ Bike Life
Pure Racing…
True gents everyone of them loved by all motorbike lovers . the world over
Ten seconds can seem like forever. When you ride in the TT
Unreal
Tt rece is the best
LindoLindoLindo Fantastico Vcs Sao Dmais 🤩😍🤑
Shame MD don’t get involved in things like this as he has loads of support and I would love his input also
That was really interesting seeing almost everyone who’s been #1 on the road absolutely wanted it before and ended up hating the experience. Except for John of course, but he’s just a different animal.
This series is quite similar to Launch Control by Subaru - very, very well made and unbelievably interesting.
Who is the narrator? He is fantastic.
As a MANXMAN MY SELF THEY R ALL HEROES
I would give anything to have half the chance to go race the tt it's a dream of mine
one day i will ride that mountains... just as all the greats did
