many highly trained Moto GP riders say they would not do the TT...
89 wins in Moto GP, Valentino Rossi's comments about the TT:

He said: 'I did a lap of the Isle of Man, and I understand why people love this because it’s f**king awesome – it’s unbelievable, great.
But, unfortunately, it’s too dangerous. Sometimes, riders are crazy.'
'The Isle of Man is very difficult. If you make a mistake, maybe it’s the last mistake.'
