Davey Todd h﷽as given an exhilarating insight into winning a🐟 race at the fabled Isle of Man TT.

Todd won the only Superstock race of th🦹is year’s event, then also won the Senior TT.

They were his first victories around the Mounta✨in Course.

“⭕Gettin🌠g two wins was a dream come true,” Todd told .

“After a race-long battle wi🀅th Michael Dunlop and Peter Hickman it was the perfect way to win my first one.

“Nobody had any problems or retirements or anything like that, it was a straight-up battꦉle.

“To come out on top was a 💖dream come true for my first win.

“Normally, a win like Britis😼h Championship or anything like that is an awesome feeling, but it sort of goes away in🧸 the next day or two.

“ꦿBut that feeling from winning the TT is still with me a good feওw months later.

“I still thinkജ about it throughout the day, probably nearly everyಌ day.

“What in the world can you possibly compare the TT to? What else requires that amount of conc🐼entration for just shy of two hours?

“You can’t afford to lapse in concentrati𓂃on or the worst c🍎ould happen.

“Thꦆere’s no other sport or anything in the world that will be the same as that.

“It’s an eerie feeling, it’s scary. When you’re out there you’ve no time to think about anything el🌳se. You don’t have time to actually feel anything as such.

“You’re so c🍒oncentrated on what you’re doing, thinking about the next corner and the next corner, and beinꦜg on the right line and missing a bump that’s there or making sure you’re doing everything correctly, not making mistakes.”

This year’s TT was most notable because Dunlop regist🐲ered a 29th victory, setting a ne൲w all-time race win record to eclipse his legendary uncle Joey.

But Todd🐻’s emergence into the fastest group of riders - and his first two race wins - is significant for the future of the TT.
