The road to TT isn’t always smooth, and few know that better than Dom Herbertson.

In the opening episode of Beyond the Paddock, Chris Pritchard meets Dom at the Creg-Ny-Baa pub to reflect on a turbulent year that saw a sudden change of plans, an incredible community response, and the determination to still take on the Mountain Course.

Now, with factory backing from Triumph through KTS Racing, Dom looks ahead to TT 2026 with renewed focus. From preparation and pressure to progress across the classes, this is an honest insight into what it takes to keep moving forward at the world’s most demanding road race.
