Beschreibung

From the moment the starting flag drops to the instant riders vanish into the mist-shrouded peaks, the Isle of Man TT stands as the ultimate test of courage—and the deadliest race on Earth. This electrifying chronicle plunges you into the heart of a century-old institution where motorcycles blast through narrow public roads at breakneck speeds, and stone walls replace safety fences. Through gripping first-hand accounts, expert analysis, and haunting archival imagery, discover:The Origins of Legend: How a small island’s winding lanes transformed into the world’s most demanding circuit.Triumphs Against All Odds: Profiles of riders—man and woman—who defied physics, injury, and despair to claim glory on asphalt edged with peril.Tragedy in Every Turn: The stories behind the more than 250 fatalities that echo through Ballaugh Bridge and Glen Helen, and the ongoing debate over tradition versus safety.The People Behind the Madness: Meet the mechanics who sweat over every bolt, the marshals who stand vigil in rain and fog, and the fans whose obsession fuels the TT’s thunderous roar.Technology vs. Tradition: How cutting-edge innovations—from smart barriers to biometric sensors—seek to tame a 37.73-mile course that refuses to yield.Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer drawn by the siren song of speed, this book immerses you in the TT’s unrelenting drama—where victory is inches from disaster, and every lap feels like a brush with fate.

    'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"Once in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL 
    Among the key questions answered are:What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.) 
    In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold.

    Did you know there is an area of your brain known as the "Lizard Brain" that thinks only about the immediate moment and your means of survival? Yes, in certain circumstances, your "Rational Brain" can effectively "shut down" and you are at the mercy of a reptile...dry-mouthed, sweating, queasy, unable to think clearly—even though you know better. When does the Lizard Brain run the show? It can happen in any number of unfamiliar, uncomfortable, challenging, or "stressful" riding situations. But here's the thing: with the right kind of training, you can learn to manage the reptile within, which leads to greater confidence with horses, better riding performance, and ultimately, happiness at the barn, at shows, and everywhere in between. Andrea Waldo teaches you how to: handle uncomfortable emotions, such as fear, anger, anxiety, and embarrassment; hone your mental game and focus your riding time to get the most out of your hours in the saddle; care for your emotional injuries the same way you would care for an injured horse; and produce a state of "Focused Calm" and tap into the skills you have (whether you know it or not!) to ensure an outstanding ride.
