It’s been confirmed that TT legend Ian Hutchinson has gained a late entry into this weekend’s Manx Two Day Trial. The Bingley Bullet is no stranger to a Trials bike but this will be his first time tackling the Manx event.
Whilst he is more used to travelling along the Islands roads at speeds up to 200mph it will be a very different prospect this weekend as he tackles the near 100 mile route and over 80 sections.
Still the only man in history to win 5 TT races in one week back in 2010, Hutchy has battled back to full fitness after a horrific leg injury and will certainly be looking to have a lot of fun this weekend.
He is not the first TT road racing competitor to tackle the Manx Two Day, with names such as Rob McElnea, Mick Grant, Iain Duffus, Sammy Miller and Nick Jefferies all regulars over the years. In fact Nick Jefferies still holds a unique record being the only man to win a Manx Two Day, a Manx Grand Prix and a TT!
