Beyond the Paddock
The road to TT 2026 doesn’t start on the grid. It starts long before the visor drops.
Beyond the Paddock is a new series bringing you closer than ever to the riders, teams and stories shaping the upcoming 2026 Isle of Man TT Races. Hosted by Chris Pritchard, each episode steps away from the intensity of competition to give you genuine access to the people preparing for the ultimate challenge in road-racing.
From decisions on machinery and teams, to the realities of training, risk and expectation, this is where ambition meets responsibility. The build-up starts here, with more to come as we head towards TT.
