    Legend. Anyone who doesn't like Michael has too many pretensions. Dude is down to earth and a man of the people, even if he doesn't feel the need to pander to "his public". I really hope he breaks the record this year. I'm sure he will. Wishing him all the best for the Senior TT especially.

    The people that put up those nasty comments on about they can't understand a word his saying. Take the wax out of your ears and listen to the man and I really mean listen. Just because he has an Irish accent. No need for comments like that. That man is a legend like all his family. Just look at what Michael has achieved at such a young age. Best of luck Michael for 2023. 🇮🇪

    For me as a non native speaker it's hard to understand him and it's not about the wax in my ears. But that's just the way he speaks, the speech of his ancestors - nothing you should hate him for. It's actually nice people preserve their regional accents so they don't die out.

    Those people get those chances along with sponsorships and money because THEY'RE MARKETABLE, Michael has always shot himself in the foot for acting like the other racers are his enemies and shouldn't be there. No one will give you their money if they expect no return, I admire the guy but guys like Peter himself, lee Johnston,connor, hillier, dean, McGuinness, rutter, basically ALL tt riders are so friendly to each other and the fans and Michael walks around like a Hollywood diva, no autographs, no interviews,that's not good for business, you wouldn't sponsor a guy knowing your brand won't be seen by anyone if he loses or seen less on tv if he wins than some brands sponsoring racers who didn't .No one's trying to stab you Michael it's the tt not a prison patio .I've always heard the other racers saying great things about the others, MD is the only one constantly talking shit about other racers and how he's "the last real road racer ",stop it 😂

    It's not that you don't understand him. It's because you live in the wrong part of the world. You don't need to listen to him......just watch him race. Only then will you learn he's no tellytubby!
