In this episode of TT Explained, we take a closer look at the riders who compete at the Isle of Man TT. From those making their debut to those who have shaped its history, each arrives with their own level of experience, preparation and ambition.
The episode reflects on the achievements of past and present competitors, including the milestones and lap records that define performance on the Mountain Course. It also considers how experience is built over time, from newcomers learning the course to established riders continuing to refine their approach.
