Motorcycle video: Tourist Trophy 2017, the fight of the century
The days are getting shorter, the temperatures are dropping, the bikers are numb … but Site is struggling! To heat up the atmosphere, here is the trailer for the next Tourist Trophy which will pit two great champions: Hutchinson and Dunlop. Explanations !
On one side of the ring, 1.85 m for 72 kg, born in Bingley in England on August 12, 1979, victim of a terrible accident in 2010 which badly damaged his left leg and forced him to shift gears with the right (!), winner 14 times in TT including three last year: Iaaaaan "" Hutchinson…
On the other, 1.80 m for 80 kg, originally from Northern Ireland, born April 10, 1989, son of the late Robert, brother of William – barely slower – and nephew of the legendary Joey, victorious 13 times on Isle of Man including two last year: Michaaaaael "" Dunlop !
It is in this warm atmosphere of "fight of the century" that the organizers of the future Tourist Trophy have chosen to present the two terrors of British road races, as tasty as they are perilous … The promotional clip of the 2017 edition (below) -below) also includes quotes from boxer Mohamed "The Greatest" Ali.
"The man who has no imagination has no wings" … Better still: "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in his life". It must be recognized that the mythical "punchlines" of Cassius Clay find a striking echo in the world of TT !
"It is not the mountains to climb that will exhaust you …" but the pebble in your shoe! Understood: the "Snaefell Mountain" is not the biggest opponent in the Tourist Trophy, it is rather this damn pilot that we do not necessarily see on the road and against whom we must nevertheless fight with all our strengths…
"Only the man who has known defeat can go to the depths of his soul … and come back with that extra energy" which will make him win in a balanced match. Ian Hutchinson knows it all too well: he who had won everything at TT 2010 had to fight four long years before winning again in Macau, and one more to win a new trophy on the Isle of Man.
Finally, “to become a great champion, you have to consider yourself the best,” partially quotes the 2017 TT clip. “If you’re not, claim it!” Ali added. Michael Dunlop has proven to be the fastest – he flies like a butterfly! – by signing the new lap record in 2016, at an astounding average of 133.962 mph, or 215.591 km / h through fields … and villages! Hot time.
