"I wanted to know if I could still ride a bike again" | Ian Hutchinson EXCLUSIVE Interview

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The term 'hard man' is used a lot, but if one person defines this phrase then it would be the 16-time #IsleOfMan #TT winner, Ian Hutchinson.
In this video from the recent 2024 launch of the TT Races, #BikeSocial sat down with Hutchy in the Villa Marina cafe on Douglas prom to discuss his recent move back the Milenco Padgetts Racing team, his recovery from suffering a stroke at the start of 2023, how he found out the ACU suspended his racing license and what actually happened in a Macau night club with John McGuinness many years ago.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the video.

    I had Covid. Was Hospitalised in ICU for about 6 weeks. Not a good experience fortunately not vented . One thing the Drs were most worried about was getting blood clots mainly in the lungs Although they were scanning for vascular clots also. I was not jabbed. That said I have heard plenty people that have been Jabbed that have had strokes , Heart attacks , Brain bleeds etc. some say Covid was not real and a Plandemic but I have to say from first hand experience it was real enough to me . Plenty folk not well these days Covid or the Jab ? I know not and neither does anyone else. Good luck to Hutchy he’s a Warrior. I wish him good fortune and Success 👍💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    It was 5 in a week when it actually meant something too. The amount of big races now opens up the door for that to be done again, and it just won't be as special regardless IF it happens. When Ian did it, it was the fact there were only five main races and he cleaned up. 2010 will always be the year it was done properly. I've often wondered where he'd be, wins wise by now without his injuries. If he'd won 'only' another 12 in the years since, he'd be on 28. But we could say the same for DJ too, Dave had many years of success lined up.

    As Ian said General Anaesthetic is something to be avoided like waking up in Hospital generally, unless you consider the alternative. The IoM TT and Superbike racing have made massive strides in emergency care medicine through the hard work and dedication of those responsible over the last decades, without which the sport we love would not continue. I thank them all for a job well done. Interesting to hear Ian's experience with brain injury as that's very different than the physical injuries that coming off bikes can cause. The capacity of the brain to adapt is amazing but it is still one of the least understood organs and getting support with brain injury is hard for that reason. Helmets are important. The modern approach to surgical operations does consider all the risks to the patient, including the cardiology and the risk of clots. So it's routine to have anti-coagulant medicine to reduce the risk of clotting despite the additional work that can cause in theatre. I can say from personal experience that you don't want to wake up in a Stroke Ward wondering HTF did I get here. Unless you consider the alternative. I'm so glad that Ian has been able to ride again, and wish him every success with Padgetts Racing..

I don't think he would ever have had the edge against MD on subpar or privateer bikes.
