‘The impossible became possible’

PHILLIP MCCALLEN 11-time TT winner

Michael didn’t finish the first Superbike race and practice hadn’t gone well for him either so everyone was doubting him and doubting the Suzuki, so to come away with the Senior win was incredible. And this was heightened by the fact that as a team they hadn’t won anything coming into that final race. Everyone deserves credit, Michael for his determination and to Hawk Racing who are a small team, but did a brilliant job. At the end of the race Michael gave a great quote ‘making the impossible, possible’. Michael likes to shoot his mouth off, but he had very good reason to that day. I know how hard it is to win a TT and there is even more pressure for the Senior. You’re tired, the bike is tired and the team are tired and it takes a big effort.
