Ian Hutchinson is among the Isle of Man TT"s most successful riders, with 16 wins to his name, five of those during one record-breaking week back in 2010. He competes at the 2019 TT after a comeback year following a horrific leg injury The Isle of Man TT is like going on a rollercoaster. In the build-up, you"re sat in the chair, strapped in, and you"ve no idea why you"re doing it again. But as soon you get going, it"s a different story. When you"re down in the paddock and the race is about to start, you think there"s got to be easier ways to earn a living. You"re thinking of all the things that can go wrong. Then as soon as you set off down Bray hill, you enjoy riding the bike and it all goes out the window. You"re no longer nervous, because you"re in control. You know what you"re doing, barring anything that"s out of your hands. Which can happen anywhere in life, can"t it?
