Isle of Man TT qualifying up (VERY) close
Added 2025-05-30 17:23:23 +0000 UTCWe've got plenty of Isle of Man TT content coming up over the race week, across our MotoGP social channels, YouTube, website and here on Patreon, and we thought you might like a first look at this little clip from Simon's day.
As he put it:
"Thereβs nowhere quite like the bottom of Barregarrow at the Isle of Man TT.
"Speeds of 140 mph on a superbike, threading through the eye of a needle between stone walls, with the suspension more often than not bottoming out as riders hit the dip, and with spectators watching on from inches away, itβs a spot simply unlike anywhere else in motorcycle racing."
Filmed on a camera provided by The Race MotoGP Podcast's partner Insta360, and Simon used an invisible selfie-stick to safely pull off this angle.

As a proud Manx man who's unable to be there this year, I'm so genuinely pleased that you're there enjoying it all to the max βπΌ

2025-05-31 02:24:12 +0000 UTCI had the same look on my face as Simon when that first bike passed through! Told my aunt that I'm not doing the Sydney - London flight again for at least another 3 years (25 hours of air travel is an absolute killer) but the IOM TT content you guys are pushing out is making me seriously re-consider that decision (my aunty will be forever thankful to you guys π)

2025-05-30 18:10:51 +0000 UTCHey Paul. Banned from sticking out over the fence, yes absolutely, and understand why you asked. This was still inside the fence, down by my feet for a low angle, but itβs the invisible selfie stick trick the Insta360 does and the editing that makes it look like it was sticking out. SP
