What an amazing experience.
Now i understand why people enjoy the experience of riding at the TT.
I only did one lap and I would definitely like some more practice.

I was able to make a few wheelies and wave a lot to the crowd – there seem to be so many people here.
It was a very very good experience,” said Lorenzo.
