In the final episode of the series, we delve into the end. The idea of knowing when to finish, or whether someone would need to tell you. Because the TT is about skill, and whilst you’ve got it, age has proven not to be a defining factor in success.
The Isle of Man TT Races is not somewhere you go to as a child to work your way up. Often, the top riders have their best years at the TT in their mid-30s, when athletes in other sports would be set to retire.
