So what about Ian Hutchinson ??

He won 5 TTs then suffered an injury which could have cost him his leg...I think he deserves some recognition for his fight back to racing well again....

Also close to Ian comes Connor Cummins....His spectacular step-off and return to TT 2011 also deserves mention....

However they were accidents which we tend to sweep under the TT Carpet !

I see the quote above....."Martin is the Isle of Man TT racer who sounds like a cartoon northerner, looks like a 1970s Emmerdale character with his lamb chop ‘sideys’ and risks life and limb racing on the roads - a top man".............................George Formby lives again !!
