Dave Jefferies, TT Legend
6-times TT winner, big DJ is the fastest man ever around the course. Last year on a V&M tuned R1 he averaged 125.6mph around the 37-mile circuit. Hard nut or what? Third in the British Superstock series at the moment too.
Would have competed that year on: V&M Formula One R1
Fastest average TT lap: 125.6mph, V&M R1
Most-used phrase: "Look at the thru' pennys on that!"
Ian Lougher, TT Hero
4-times TT winner, the whippet-like Lord Lucan (he's always disappearing) still holds the 125cc lap record around the island and has been racing there for 17 years. What he doesn't know about balls-out road riding could be written on a stamp.
Would have competed that year on: TAS Formula One GSX-R1000
Fastest average TT lap: 123.0mph, Honda NSR500 V-twin
Most-used phrase: "Vodka and diet coke would be smashing"
John McGuinness, TT Celebrity
With two TT wins under his belt in 2001, and currently lying 3rd in the British Supersort Championship, Castrol Honda rider McGuinness knows exactly what it takes to put in a blistering lap of the world's most-demanding road circuit.
Would have competed that year on: Castrol Honda Formula One FireBlade
Fastest average TT lap: 121.5mph, Castrol Honda VTR-1000 SP-1
Most-used phrase: "Gus, you bulb"
Jim Hodson, TT Star
Wigan-based Jim has raced to a stash of Top Five places at the TT in 12 years racing there. Would have been the man to beat on a well-trick and very fast Kawasaki ZX-9R this year. Raced British Superbikes until last year, too.
Would have competed that year on: Pidcock Formula One ZX-9R
Fastest average TT lap: 120.0mph, WSB-spec ZX-7R
Most-used phrase: "I were coming down t'M6, in't van..."
Wozza, TT Nobody
TWO's Deputy Editor. Never been to the Isle of Man before, so quite ready to have his brain re-adjusted by doing 170mph two feet away from a flint wall, and the horror of The Pitstop club at 5am in the morning. Riding around at the back of the pack in the Aprilia Mille Cup this year.
Most-used phrase: "Can I have a receipt for that?"
Gus Scott, TT One Day
TWO's Chief Road Tester is a veteran of the Alternative TT. Has woken up vomiting in every ditch and alleyway to be found on the Isle of Man. A bloody fast rider, Gus is racing a GSX-R1000 in British Superstock this season and has been on the podium already. Go, Gusbuster!
Most-used phrase: "Can we put crank mags on expenses?"
