In 2007, at the Centenary Isle of Man TT Races, McGuinness did the first 130mph lap. The conditions were great, he says, he was feeling good, and the centenary year was the right time to do it.

In this episode we learn about what the goals are for the racers leading the pack, whether numbers are just numbers, or are we even going to go any quicker?
