Guy looks back at his legendary lap of the TT | Guy Martin's TT years

I have one last one, you know, it's got the last four laps and probably almost an hour and 20 minutes of racing, so I'm going to show some respect and get to work, so here we are. Is this some kind of moment for the bicycle? Now we're on the way to the track, through the mail to Ramsey Airpin,

back

to the bottom gear and then that's a mountain, which actually I guess is a bit more like a short circuit. Okay, it's open and you know you can see most of the island from up there, but it's like it's in the

back

, just passing through the air towards the water plant.

I can hear the gears I'm changing. What am I here, maybe I'm thinking about the second race, which is tomorrow, maybe I should show him a little more respect and maybe not at all, but then I want to win. I mean, I think it probably does, at this point. Am I leading or um, you know, that's what I think the whole race, there was nothing to it, I was leading and I was second, but it was all for one second plus one second minus one second, you know, it was a very close race. . between me and him, actually, as I found out later, he was actually at the pit stop, I knew he was at the launch now, but it's going well, I think a man needs to stop him, don't you know what he's doing?

He has won three races. this week I need to put an end to that tomorrow I have my mate John there you see that p one plus two so that's good for me I'm not doing a bad job so from where I had the pit board in qualifying. cullen i never mentioned him i chose border wrench with ambi care show you know radio forwarding here i love the body es i love it bye i will learn a thing or two from that man i think he just came back from cambodia that's where he has an interesting guy anyway that's my second obstacle that's young John there young Johnner um in the gooseneck so here we are now said Lara before going down home upstairs getting wrapped up ready to run the mountain and there we are, the bike has to work hard enough to getting out of here, it's okay, there are no bumps, but it's much smoother in the back, you know, it doesn't make any noise in the back, it doesn't make any noise, everything loosens up, you know, it eats up the bike, so You know you can't see.

You really make a good impression on TV, but it's quite steep, the bike has to work very hard to stop here, especially for me too, I mean I'm not allowed, I would be around 10

years

old. I've actually been on a bit of a diet, but I think I want to, what am I going to get to? I think the style at the beginning of this year was about to be gone, I was hitting twelve stores nothing, but now I've hit ten stores and eight, so I'm pretty happy with that and look, I can see someone else in the distance, I think so, ten seconds ahead of me they were able to attribute and ten seconds ahead of everyone was Cameron Donald, a bit of an up and down year for Cameron at the moment and you know he's sure he showed his quality last year in the TT, you know what they're doing Thursday night in practice, he's 131 and a half and everyone was stunned by the speed he has.

He had turned around and then the next night, Friday night, he went off and separated his shoulder and hurt some other bits and bobs, he's never been in that since the Northwest 200, which is another big race before of that, before the TT, that is, that is. a fortnight before the TT he didn't go there and everyone saw him and I thought it was him you know sandbagging I mean I don't know would anyone know what to put on sandbagging it's a bit like um pokerface? You know, the North West is a big event, but really all it's about is blocking the shoemakers for the TT.

You know, the TT is the pinnacle of road racing, which is when everyone thought it was there for um. you know how to blow away the cobwebs and you know, kind of a sandbag, but you'll see that his tt hasn't gone as planned at the time when everyone was coming to the tt, you know like me, if john mcguinney saw ryan hutchinson . Thinking the same thing, we thought Cameron was going to be the man to catch, but he just doesn't seem like it right now. You know, here we are. I've caught, yes, caught, probably two-thirds of the way around the field and I've caught.

He caught 20 seconds, but he's not on the pace, well, the Suzuki 600, bye, I probably don't have the lights on. Master Champion, you can see the speed of him, he's not slow at all, definitely not, so yeah. Getting back to what I was talking about on the track again, so here we are getting here with Rise and this is probably one of my favorite parts of the cast, not so little here. I have never gotten this job outside of the team. Back here and I call this part something like it was the whole mountain box, I think, but from this point here to the well to go back to the capital gate, it was one of my favorite powers because I mean, here , this is the beginning of 32. it's 32 it's three lefties the first there the second there the third there and that requires a little bit of preparation to get there just because it requires a hundred percent commitment to get there and get into the new windy curve, what does that say?

No, I think they brought it back up about three

years

ago and you can see the camera right there now on the run to the 33. Remember the 32 has three lefties and then the 33 has two lefties. You have to understand that. true, and I'm a bit similar sometimes I play along, but anyway, here we go, entering the third third, behind the march, keep it close to the fence on the right side, they're back here and these white lines in the Lord it's really pronounced what I wanted to have a set of bikes one of them you'll see Cameron right in front and I'm trying to track him down and this is where Cameron had his moment last year so I'm thinking about this.

Like I'm going up to go inside of it, so I know coming down here I thought well because six members are very similar. What I'll do in this last little bit of the capital's gate, I'll just stay back, see? I'll leave the gap there, yeah, and then I'll accelerate before him and I'll accelerate and try to pass him to get pregnant a little bit of that right there to stop him, William, you can see I've got the momentum out there and that allowed me. to pass cameron up here, just do it on the brakes, oh see, I went down to the lowest gear, so I should remember that, I think that would probably be a little disconcerted just by having to pass the camera inside, they went back to the bottom.

I know I just lost that bit of momentum again and then went back to the bottom and with that done, I'll note that for the second round, going around in first gear, just losing momentum all the way to the round, this was done, I think, in 2007. before this used to be going back to three gears on a tighter left turn and now we're going to go in, you know, from sixth to fifth and you can see how fast it was, just go back again, don't touch the brakes. go back one gear and then speed around swinging down towards wilbur go back another gear no brakes just throw it in and take it out on the gas just be careful with that wall there don't feel your confidence going in there I know that, well, anything goes wrong, that's it to what I've had there too, there are people taking pictures there and that big flash, when you put it on like a welder's flashboard, it somehow catches your attention and yes, I've made a mistake. or two there, so yeah, I'm going to be expecting that every time, but anyway, here we are, we have to sign this corner.

You see, don't go back to the barcode. I know I'm right at the end of the first one. lap, but when you go to the second lap you need to put gas, you know, throw in the temple, change your tires, not on the 600, but you know you have to put on a new visor, clean your screen and, you know, but sometimes you come on your second lap and you're thinking now if this is my second lap or is it the third lap or is it my first lap you know you just get a little bit, you know everything, you know you have So many things go through your head and sometimes you can forget what lap you are, so if there she just puts up a pit board when I'm at the end of the second lap just to remind me to enter the field, there we finish again, yeah, okay tomorrow, yeah, that was the supersport lap, um , fingers crossed for the weather tomorrow, we'll give it another chance.
