For the
first time ever Men & Motors has the EXCLUSIVE UK rights (excluding
N. Ireland) to coverage of the spectacular 2002 Isle of Man TT races bringing
the highlights of the action straight to your living room.
Circumstances last year meant that the races could not take place so
for TT fans UK-wide who've been hanging on for the last two years, there is
more than enough TT action to compensate. Alongside coverage of the races,
Men & Motors also delivers some passionate programmes to bump up the
racing week including THE HISTORY OF THE TT, HONDA TT GOLDEN YEARS and
MAD SUNDAY.
Top presenter LOUISE BRADY will be hosting
the event exclusively for Men & Motors. An all action girl, Louise
is known for programmes involving thrill seeking cars and motorbikes. She is
famed for presenting shows such as Car Crazy Lancashire, Motorweek (both
on Men & Motors), Roadtest (Sky) and Top Gear Gti (UK
Horizons).
Louise is passionate and knowledgeable about sports,
bikes, birds and travel and her bike mania made her the obvious choice to
present the TT week. Not short of a challenge, Louise will be bringing us up to
speed with the latest news and highlights from each race day so fans can relive
the experience and catch up on what they missed. She'll also be getting the
lowdown, on and off track with top racers and organisers.
