    As a biker since I was 16 what these boys do takes so much skill and a huge memory, in moto gp you have a run off in the tt you can have a telegraph pole, brick wall, tree...…..one mistake you are dead respect to these boys they earn every penny.

      And they get paid a lot less than the MotoGP or F1 car stars for a much more dangerous "day job".
      I am in awe of them.

      @@YordanHristooov I guess they need to be talented to drive in F1. Fortunately these days F1 is much safer than in the period from the 1950s through to the early 1980s.
      I guess bike road racing is such a spectacle due to the high risks.
      I don't mind riding my bikes well within mine and the bikes limits, I could not ride on the edge of those limits like all bike racers do. I am in awe of them.

    Let's just say - this man has earned his rep, as well as the money - and he needs not care about the lot for the rest of his life. Good to know that nice things can also come to nice people, and McPint is a proper one! Top lad who deserves it all! I never heard a bad word about anyone from John. What I always wish for is to see the missile safe at home after every TT. Of course it goes for everyone else as well, but to be fair, this man has set the pace for more than a few decades by now, and that earns some respect in my book. Have a good one, John, play it safe, but go fast!

    Valentino Rossi might be the greatest in MotoGP. But Isle of Mann TT is the ultimate race. No race is comparable to it. It’s the ultimate test to the limits. You’re either mad or have a death wish for you to compete in Isle of Mann TT, it’s like a race against death. It’s suicidal considering how dangerous it is. Crashes are usually fatal.
