Its kind of like Air racing. No one holds a gun to your head and makes you do it....but its dangerous. I think I have seen 20 people die at Reno......
Last year's TT took a particularly heavy death toll, with five competitors dying during the fortnight and another, French sidecar passenger Olivier Lavorel, succumbing to his injuries in October.
Welsh rider Mark Purslow was killed in a practice crash and Northern Ireland's Davy Morgan lost his life in an incident in the opening Supersport race.
Lavorel's sidecar driver Cesar Chanal sustained fatal injuries in their crash at the Ago's Leap section of the circuit, less than a mile from the start-line, while another sidecar pairing, father and son Roger and Bradley Stockton,
died after an accident at the same area of the course later in the week.
It made 2022 the worst in the event's history in terms of deaths, equalling the number of fatalities at the 1970 TT.
