In the weeks following the Isle of Man TT 2023 we're bringing you some of the best episodes from our back-catalogue, continuing with one of our most-listened to episodes with Michael Rutter. This episode was first released in February 2022 - the year which marked Michael’s 28th year as a TT racer, with seven victories and 18 podiums along the way.
In the episode, he reflects on his long and illustrious career where he has raced against - and been team mates to - some of the all-time greats of road racing.
He talks of what could have been had he pushed himself harder in the early years, what he could have achieved without an extended break from the TT, and how he and John McGuinness MBE nearly came to blows after a tasty TT Zero encounter...
