BIKE (UK)

So Bradley, fancy the TT?

-

There have only been two times I’ve been scared on a motorcycle. One was on the back of a mototaxi going round the Peripheriq­ue in Paris, and the other was chasing Milky Quayle and Cal [Crutchlow] round the TT course [in 2012 as a parade lap]. It’s absolutely mind-boggling the amount of technical details you have to remember – surface changes, bumps – and the bike never sits still. Either the front wheel is in the air or the back is moving about. And there’s only about three corners that you can see through the apex – they were the only ones I felt safe on. What an adrenalin rush – I can see the appeal, and admire the guys . But I’m not built for that.
