Davey Todd has given an exhilarating insight into winn🎶ing a race at the fabled Isle of Man TT.

Todd won the only 🅠Superstock race of this year’s event, then also won the Senior TT.

They were his first victories around t♒he Mountain C🔥ourse.

“🎃Getting two wins was a dream come true,” Todd told .

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

“Nobody had any problemsཧ or retirements or anything like that, it was a straigh⛎t-up battle.

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

“Normally, a win like British Championship or anythiღng like that is an awesome feeling, but it sort of goes🍬 away in the next day or two.

“But that feeling fro🍌m winning the TT is still with me a good few months later.

“I still think about it throughout the day,♛ probably nearly every day.

“What in the world can you possibly compare the TT to? What else requires that amount of co𒆙ncentration for ju💯st shy of two hours?

“You can’t afforꩵd to lapse in concentration or the worst could happen.

“There’s no other sport or anything in the꧙ world that wil🎃l be the same as that.

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

“You’re so concentrated o💙n what you’re doing, th🧜inking about the next corner and the next corner, and being 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 registered a 29th victory, setting a new all-time race win rec🥃ord to ec♑lipse his legendary uncle Joey.

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