‘Hutchy making it five in a week’

CLIVE PADGETT Milenco by Padgetts Motorcycles

It has to be Hutchy in 2010! We won by 42 seconds so it wasn’t a close race, but it was the culmination of an incredible week. No one goes to the TT expecting to win five races and when Hutchy crossed the line it was so emotional for us as a team. It felt like a lifetime achievement for everyone in the squad and if we never achieved anything else, it wouldn’t matter. Before that TT Hutchy had said he had a chance of winning any one of the races, but not all five. You need a bit of luck at the TT and everything fell into place. The feeling when he was leading that race was unreal, but up until the moment he crossed the line all you’re thinking about is what could go wrong. That TT was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
