Ok, so we know the TT was a couple of weeks back and that we all know, at least intellectually, how mad TT riders really have to be.<\/p>\n

But: we’ve never seen anything that etches out the sublime and lightning quick interaction of bike, body and mind that is needed to thread a competitive lap around the Isle of Man than the footage in the onboard video below.<\/p>\n

The lap commentary by onboard rider and record-breaking mentalist Guy Martin<\/a> sets off the incredible sequence perfectly – and what emerges that the man himself appears amazed that he can actually do the things that is evidenced by the video he shot.<\/p>\n

The TT3D film<\/a> was damn good. But there’s something in the rawness of this footage combined with Guy’s voiceover that transcends that totally.<\/p>\n

Talk all through the video is of how calibrated to this sort of high tempo effort the rider’s brain becomes through practice during TT week: and there is a barely disguised and totally refreshing sense of awe at the challenges he has faced.<\/p>\n

Great to see and brilliant to hear.<\/p>\n
