Hutchy is such a great and humble guy.

[@allanhughes7859]

yes he really is but sadly for some reason does not get the credit he deserves ??

[@itstherealjammin]

I agree, he certainly doesn't get the credit he deserves at all!​@@allanhughes7859

[@alanssnackbardailyrelaxati8155]

What a great lad hutchy is. Love to see him go well.

[@allanhughes7859]

I cut my fingers quite badly last week on a ride on mower did not lose them but it was quite bad so the point I am trying to make here is how F........kn brave are these lads and lasses how the hell do they just get through these massive massive massive injuries I do not want to ride the mower for at least a few weeks till my little hand feels better these folk just get back on and ride HOW DO THEY DO THAT MENTALY IF NOTHING ELSE ????Mr Hutchinson you are one very very very very very tough chap and hats off to you sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GT380man]

In the best sense possible, they are “aliens”. Extraordinary men.

[@allanhughes7859]

@@GT380man yes they really are !!

[@malparkin4522]

Different gravy these blokes

[@benjaminkenny8492]

Hutchy the definition of determination on a race bike . Hope Ian has a good tt 2024.

[@ThuTroothHurtz]

No man is liked more than Ian. Absolutely everyone will be cheering for him. Including the other riders.

[@BraXis20]

You cannot not like Hutchy. Down to earth , warrior, winner . Great talk. Wish him the best for the future and hopefully another win. Can’t wait to watch him live in a few weeks👍🏼

[@stevec-b6214]

shocking double negative, but agreed!

[@ManxAndy]

Loving these short interviews, wetting the whistle for TT24..👍😉🇮🇲👌❤️

[@DucatimoTV]

I noticed something. It seems to be that almost all TT riders are such great blokes and so down to earth. Maybe because they have looked death in the eyes many times butt in a different way. Respect.

[@charliewolf1163]

Hutchy is the definition of a warrior! Wishing you the best hope the TT is dry and safe for all in 2024

[@UnleashedCode]

Hutchy is the epitome of the human spirit to overcome, pursue and conquer against all odds! Very few have the bravery and drive like this man.

[@russellgadbury364]

The word hero is today wrongly attributed to the likes of actors who exist in a world of fantasy. Ian is an inspiration to us all and truly a hero showing determination, grit, tenacity and courage at a level way above most of us humans. It was a pleasure to see Ian back on the roads at the NW200 last week and I and many many others wish Ian all the very best for the TT, safe home as they say.

[@adiegreen19]

What an Amazing Human being You are Ian . Go Well My Friend 🏍🏍🏍

[@johnbirney7072]

What a nice Guy , God be with you, enjoy your sport x

[@andybrockbank3027]

What a nice collected guy he is. I wish him every success in 2024

What a gentleman a true legend hutchy

[@lewissabin3884]

Hutchy you are a gladiator a brilliant rider humble wise and will always achieve what you set your mind to stay safe and good luck see you at TT. Hope all your dreams come true.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

I'm with Ian - I had my stroke at 46 - lifestyle issues - it was the worst thing ever loosing my licence for six months, still riding just started marshalling with MNW all good for now 🙂

[@nickchatburn]

What a guy ! Can’t believe he has had a stroke and is still racing. Real life hero.

[@allanhughes7859]

What a great interview well done team!!

[@Franz_giblet]

Brilliant interview, he’s a legend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rizzosalvaje]

Hutchy you're a great example of resilience and an amazing warrior, hope to see you racing and doing very well in 2024 TT

[@miguelortiz7875]

Fkn love Ian hes such a great lad MUCHHHH love from Miami. Hoping to go watch it in person next year

[@stevec-b6214]

DO IT! I almost cancelled my 2019 trip, and when covid hit, the next year It hit me hard, the realisation I might have missed my chance. (But thanks to any and all Gods, I didn`t)

[@tony182bikes]

Ian needs a corner named after him at the TT 👌

[@HisBortness]

I've been calling the right-hand kink that leads on to Mountain Mile "Hutchy's" ever since he crashed there a few years ago.

[@anthonyfairlcough3888]

All the very best Ian you deserve it..fast and safe.

[@barbossaa5527]

Nothing but respect for Hutchy down to earth lovely talented man

[@UMMMN-t4m]

Softly spoken hard as nails

[@6arethevan5]

Absolute living legend, wishing him all the very best of luck ....he's defo overdue!! 💪🏻🏍️👍🏻

[@calibra1972]

What a great person, good luck with 2024 TT!👊👍

[@phenyothabe913]

Hutchy one of my faves!

[@Se7enUK]

Legend! Hoping he has an awesome 2024!

[@KernowekTim]

Good bloke. Proper racer.

[@darrenenoch2680]

Lovely interview. Really think with out injury he could have been king of the mountain

[@adambritain5774]

Both Hutchy (in particular) and Michael Dunlop will have my utmost respect until the day i die. What they’ve put themselves through for motorbike racing is beyond my comprehension. Will be cheering Hutchy on!

[@1978JonBullock]

Hopefully every rider at the TT goes home safe and sound. The riders at the top are so evenly matched it's anyone's guess who will be on the podium.

[@stephenwilliamson1491]

Alot of respect for hutchy

[@Spondoodikins]

It's nice (to have won 16 TTs) ....Understatement of the year

[@dwnnn7390]

Right??? Hahaha

[@derekr610]

Loved this..gave me hope as a lifelong biker recovering from a stroke❤

[@chrisstratton3430]

Clot shot. 100%. Take 'em to court Ian! They tried to kill us. Anyway on a lighter note - I wish you all the overdue luck in the world this year. Above all - life is toooo short so have fun out there my friend. Much respect. Much love.

[@tinniswood2577]

Wish Ian all the very best.

[@user-ej4cr9ft7v]

Fair play, really hope you go well.

[@flatoutintop23]

What a bloke, I really hope he has some more success on the Island ✊

[@Bartman.13]

Big Respect For Ian for all he's been trough.... Hope he will be competitive

[@aarontaylor9805]

Lets go hutchy!! 🏍 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆

[@Craig-sq3xk]

All the best hutchy for this tt a genuine Yorkshire lad from a Notts lad nuff respect

[@Craig-sq3xk]

I've always been a massive fan of the tt and to see hutchy come back after every thing deserves nothing but everyman to tip their hats including the most infamous of riders and winners to recognize despite the upheavals he still prepared to Tey his best 125%respect

[@jaguar629]

Legend.

[@daveinuk9845]

I went to the same brilliant ward in Donny for a stroke. A fluttering heart is what causes it. one in four of us has a flutter, I was amazed and thankful. Whatever Hutchy does we will support him. Best of luck to all the guys n girls in IOMTT.

[@Keeperlit_24]

Trust me this man will win again at the TT. Might not be in 2024 but it will def be in the future. He’s a warrior and a born winner.

[@Desmo904]

I cannot begin to imagine how debilitating having 45 operations must be. Fair play to Hutchy for wanting to come back after all that! Respect.

[@dogdaze3689]

love Hutchy, He has to be one of the toughest people alive

[@benjaminkenny8492]

Hutchys tough as f...k .💪

[@MrCSutton]

What a smashing bloke Hutchy is. I sincerely hope he has a great TT and goes on to more thoroughly deserved wins. As I write this comment, there are 68 other comments, three of which are from people who have had strokes. Before 2021, there probably wouldn't have been any comments from people who'd had strokes, because they were so rare. In my little circle of family and friends, five of them have had strokes since early 2021. There's one thing they all have in common. Just how many times do these "rare" side effects have to happen before they're not "rare" any longer?

[@nitramdoow91]

what an inspiration! Mega guy and forever in the history books!

[@stevec-b6214]

I have not seen this level of desire to win, an unwavering commitment to be the best, and to push himself to the absolute limit

[@joewilliams9535]

Absolute hero ! One proper fella !😊

[@davidmccormick4735]

Absolutely based of Hutchy to speak about complications caused by a certain injection people were coerced into taking. Obviously the interviewer tries to direct his answer here, but Hutchy spoke more freely in one of his other recent interviews.

[@GordonVansey]

I’ve had a stroke myself it’s hard to get your self believe back I wish you all the luck in the world I’ll be watching closely to see if you get a 130 plus lap in

[@DaJungleDred]

Praying for Hutchy - I know he has the speed - That never goes he just needs a top bike and a top team and he'll bring home the wins

[@paulricketts5537]

Lovely bloke is hutchy, and boy wot a road racer, wot a big big shame that terrible accident, he would have so many more tt wins otherwise, so hope he gets back up there

[@royalbee9088]

What an absolute legend 👏👏

[@daveannetts9966]

Top top man … Stay safe Hutchy.

[@Albert-nf8jk]

Brill. Thanks. Go well Hutchy.

[@Bennybigballs24]

That is one of the toughest dudes on this planet. Soft spoken but he’s a beast. Racing is everything to him. I think he’s gonna surprise a few people 👌🏻👌🏻😁

[@danielt8960]

Whether you love him or hate him, you can't help but respect him. Hard as nails and a proper racer.

[@garycook2500]

What a man nice nice guy

[@garyabblett3128]

It doesn’t take a genius to work out why he had a stroke..🤔The 1st jab he took was one that had now been taken off the market, which he admitted in a previous interview. I’d say he’s been told it’s a no go area in this one.

[@big500]

I broke my leg badly in 2022, and my physiotherapist knew I was a biker. He told me that he was Hutchys physiotherapist. He also told me he’d never had a patient that worked so hard, and that in his opinion Hutchy was basically as hard as nails.👍

[@garry1450]

Hutchy, what can I say a real man tough as fuck physically and mentally, respect

[@LuisMiguel-or9rg]

Without the accidents and the bad luck, at this point Hutchy would have the most wins at the TT

[@noiseache7720]

Without doubt.

[@alantjs5]

Here here,,top rider and top bloke.

Just let this lad have some luck and be left to ride. He’s quality.

[@michaelhowarth-w1e]

this man is bullit proof (legend).

[@GT380man]

Of course it was the bloody arm spear. Poor lad, nearly died. Might still. I wish him well. I hold Hutchy in the highest regard. He’s a model of humble determination. Pure class.

[@chrisbentley4871]

Hutchy = legend

[@dwnnn7390]

Now That's a Mans Man..W all he's been thru ,,16 TT Wins an he'd still be gutted if he can't go on ! We'll here in the US we would be gutted also Ian ...Go kick some more Arse......

❤😂😢😮😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 I love to go and see one of your races, but I don’t know how much it cost for me to fly over there next year cause I saw it on 60 minutes that guy was explaining about the TT race. It is so awesome and I would love love to go and see it, but I don’t know how much it will cost to go for the 25 season next year. Let me know please.

I love all of these men and don't need to see them wreck themselves anymore. Ian particularly has nothing to prove. Nowt.

Too right. Did you know that the arm spears were designed intentionally to cause harm?

People have had random strokes and illnesses before the covid jab. Not the time or place to bost ur believes mate have some respect for the guy

If you are reading.. Please, I know it's hard, but it comes the time to move on... Please, don't do it. You are part of history, got nothing to prove, not to world or to your self... But I know, sadly, it's not a cloth from which you're cut...
