Hutchy: Miracle Man

RRP: £18.99

Hutchy: Miracle Man - The Autobiography, tells the story of Ian Hutchinson, an immensely talented road racer who has enjoyed spectacular success at the Isle of Man TT, the North West 200 and the Ulster Grand Prix.

After setting the record for the most wins in a single Isle of Man TT festival in 2010 (five in total), Hutchy fell and was struck by another rider during a round of British Supersport racing, breaking his left leg so badly that at one stage it was feared he might lose it. After a long period of recovery, he fractured the same leg in 2012. And yet nothing could keep the Yorkshireman from racing, as he returned to win the Macau Grand Prix in 2013 and went on to achieve three more wins at the Isle of Man TT in 2015 (after more than 30 operations on his leg).

Throughout the book, there are comments from Valentino Rossi, Mick Grant, Jamie Whitham and Murray Walker to name but a few – and as you’d expect, Hutchy has plenty to say about his peers too.

In short, I couldn’t put this book down. I read it from cover to cover in two evenings – and then spent the next few night watching videos of the incredible man on the internet. I think Hutchy: Miracle Man is a must read for anyone interested in the life and career of a brilliant rider who is immensely popular, not just for his achievements, but for his modesty, kindness and resilience too.
