This lap of the TT I’ll be riding with Valentino Rossi on 6 June is going to have to be fast. How do I know? Because we’ve only got half an hour before Saturday’s Superbike race to do it. Assuming we get off on time that means an average lap time – including any crowd-waving, wheelies and winking at pretty ladies – of 75mph.

Let’s assume he’s five minutes late and we’re looking at a 95mph lap. Factor in a bit of pant-pulling-out-of-bottom and a slow start and it could easily be 100mph. All we need is a streaker and a track invasion and I’ll be looking at lap-record pace... Gulp."

Saturday ?????????? Are we on the same Island ?????

What's his insurance premium ???

Don't worry about doing a lap, with all the press and people getting into the start finish area, not to mention the fact that he has to get through the crowds to make it to the start...you'll be lucky to make it to the pull in area and ride back up to the Grandstand......in 1/2 an hour. Should set a new record for the slowest speed ever recorded though
