The TT Podcast
Dean Harrison: Reigning Champion
When a 28-year-old lad from Bradford lifted the Senior TT trophy for the first time in 2019, the likelihood of him still holding it three years later may have seemed lower than they turned out to be! After the hiatus caused by the pandemic, Dean Harrison heads to the 2022 Isle of Man TT as the reigning champion.
In this episode of The TT Podcast, Dean tells Chris Pritchard and Steve Plater that he tries not to let pressure get to him. From the conversation, it’s clear he’s still as much a fan as he is one of the stars of the show.
During the podcast, Dean explains decisions behind switching tyres to Dunlop, his feelings about the dangers associated with the TT and the mental and physical challenges he experiences on the bike.
