As we edge closer to the 2022 #IsleofManTT who better to ask for their thoughts and views than John #McGuinness and Peter #Hickman who have 28 TT wins and the outright lap record between them? Oh, and they're both ambassadors for Bennetts and BikeSocial.
Michael Mann poses the questions in between some tame trash talk!

What I love @10:45, is after Hicky mentions his favourite stretch of road, John then describes in absolute detail, a number of things about that 20 meters stretch. Fantastic interview as always and thankyou Bennetts.

As a 36 year old who worked at Game in Douglas when the original TT game came out, it kind of blows my mind to think we now have winners in the actual TT who used that game to learn the track. I remember even wondering at the time if it would be something that could happen, and here we are!

You chaps are my only super-heroes, I can't imagine what it's like at the starting line of the TT. And then, flat out. I'm completely conflicted at that time. Then, it's the greatest thing to see. I hate the crashes and incidents, but love everything else. It also makes me ride more saferly, the idea of emulating the riders at the TT makes pushing it seem ridiculous.

IMO, anyone who has raced The Isle Of Man TT Race is a true Warrior. They are all out there doing battle with each other and the track and one mistake could cost them dearly. The mixture of emotions they must feel during a race is truely difficult to comprehend. Hugh Respect. All the best to everyone involved from the race organizers to the spectators.

The TT is such a polarising event. Love it or loathe it. The guys that excel at it are partly super human. Motorcycle racers in general operate at a different level of cognisance. TT riders push that envelope to the limit. Can John get back to the pointy end. I really hope so as have been a big fan for years. Just hope he comes out unscathed. Really looking forward to the start. Wish I could be there. Good luck to all the riders.
