The Tyco BMW rider made the revelation in the unlikely surroundings of a question and answer session in aid of Bottesford Town Football Club last week.

According to a Scunthorpe Telegraph report Martin, when asked about whether he was going to win the TT, said:


‘I’ll go there whatever happens. Whatever I do I’ll give it 100 per cent. 

‘It’s the last time I’m doing it. Let’s be honest, it would be mint to win. It would be great, I love motorbikes.

‘But it is only motorbikes. Tomorrow is another day. I’ve this sort of mindset - it is what it is.’


Rumours have persisted since February that this would be Guy’s last TT after he hinted in interview with the Times that it would be. 

However, at the launch of the Tyco team later that month Martin said he would put off a decision until after this year’s event.
