Guy Martin has earned the much-unwanted reputation of being one of the fastest riders to never win a TT at the Isle of Man. That could change this year though, with Martin and the Tyco team making the switch to a BMW S 1000 RR, from a GSX-R1000.
Unfortunately, word from the Isle of Man is that conditions have been less than ideal this week, with Monday evening's session actually being canceled and strong winds forcing organizers to make Tuesday's practice session an un-timed affair. Even with that, Martin is looking surprisingly good on the BMW, with the bike moving around at almost every part of this clip, but Martin staying in the throttle through almost all of it. Skills!
Is it enough skills to finally leave the Isle of Man with a TT win? We'll know the answer to that in a few days. For now, turn the volume up and enjoy this clip from Tuesday's practice session.
