Peter Hickman's commentary gives us a great insight into a lap of the TT Circuit. What goes through a riders head during the lap? Even some tips on how they achieve such massive speed.
We've cherry-picked some of our favourite quotes from the man himself.
(0:20)"Bottom of Bray Hill, absolutely flat out in top gear, bit of a wheelie up over Ago's Leap, another one just there"
(1:02)"probably only cost me a second or so on the run up to union mills!" - could he break 16m:40s in IOM TT 2019? We fully expect he can, but will he be the only one?
(1:45)"Awesome corner that - Ballascarey"
(2:07)"Over to the right for the Crosby jump - 175-180 mile an hour over the top of that jump"
(2:34)"Change of direction over the top here, you got to be really careful, the bike wants to shake its head a little bit, there it is."
(2:46)"got to watch your shoulder on the wall just there, and also a change of camber on the exit"
(2:52)"One of the best corners on the circuit for me, Gorse Lea. I send all my friends, people who wanna watch, get scared - that's where you wanna stand on the left just there Gorse Lea 7 miles in. Double right hander it's really fast 165-170 mile an hour through there"
(4:46)"end of Cronk-y-voddy we're gonna be off the gas and back on again - no brakes... Ready...off the gas...back on again. Absolutely pinned in top gear (laughs) bikes shakes its head a lot through there."
(6:01)"Bit of a spin on the exit there, she's getting a bit lively."
(7:32)"Listen to that motor screaming its head off. Up to 5th gear now, no brakes, this is Ballacrye, it's one of the fastest corners. Massive jump over there."
(07:40) Jump (7:48)"You're jumping about 40 - 50 meters it's absolutely insane corner. It's Awesome!"
(8:23)"Listen to that motor, absolutely singing it's nuts off. It sounds absolutely brilliant."
(8:55)"flick left, stand the bike up, quick jump, get over there and now you can be pinned all the way to iron gates."
11:31 "this is the start of the mountain"
(13:56)"I was trying my absolute utmost to make this lap perfect, so far it was pretty good."
(14:14) "Windy corner's coming up next. Windy because...It's windy"
(14:19) "Bit of a spin on the white line just there. The white line was just a little bit dusty. Didn't cost me too much time luckily"
(17:03)"I still don't actually know I've won here by the way. So I'm asking the crowd. (Laughs) Then I do a burnout"
What a rider. Top Bloke.
