Being able to sustain this level of concentration for 17 minutes is insane. One screw up or forgotten corner and you're dead.

[loztagain]

It's literally superhuman. Hopefully one day we'll have higher frame rate recordings, because this just looks incomprehensibly mad

[mirandahotspring]

Unbelievable! I think it was Joey Dunlop who, when asked how difficult it was, replied with: "Well, there's a green blur and a grey blur. I just try and stay on the grey one."

I swear people like this must experience time more slowly than the rest of us. I can't even imagine memorizing a 37 mile course.

This man was asked what he thinks about when he is flat out and he responded with “why don’t they make a faster bike” different breed

My brain and eyes simply can't process navigating this course at these speeds. The ability to have that much trust in a bike, memorizing 37 miles of complicated course bumps, rises, turns, shadows, walls, shift changes, distances between them, never losing focus seems impossible. Just hearing the bike that tight puts me into a trance. Truly amazing what humans can do.

Speechless, absolutely amazing.
A masterpiece from Peter Hickman, in staying on the gray blur and avoiding the green blur.

Thank you for letting us hear the sound of a motorcycle!
Not a musical soundtrack.
The sound of engine, exhaust, acceleration, deceleration, is music to my ears.❤🎉😊

Im new to this kind of thing, simply because my friend died on his 2023 gxs 1000. I never looked into bike racing but this! This is a new respect. R.I.P jamie

Riding a motorbike at 136mph in a straight line on a freeway is pretty nerve-wracking, this guy just averaged that on a twisting rural course. Magnificent.

[bobkin]

He's going by the crowd so fast, they look frozen in time. Almost like they're a photograph... Insane lap

Wife and I went to the 2014 race and did a bus tour with Phil Mccallen….he narrated the entire course while taking questions from the tour group. Absolutely the best time while there. He noted that the man who wins the race is the one who woke up that morning with zero concern or fear of death. Most of the time instinct kicks in.

I was there for all practice week and he was flying all week. You need to stand roadside to appreciate the earth shattering effect as all of the TT riders as they pass, it is incredible, bravest sportspersons on the planet.

[Slash]

I read that his front tyre does a number of miles less than that track length because it's in the air so much, and the rear does more miles than the circuit because he gets massive wheelspin laying down the power. Surely one of the greatest racing feats of all time.

[Flexyhead]

Many others have died trying to do a lap like that. The closer you are to death the more you enjoy life, thats why people do this stuff. Its a choice to test yourself. This lap should be regarded as one of the greatest sporting moments of all time but media choose to ignore such bravery and courage

[RoeyHaviv]

I still don’t understand how they process all of this at that rate. Incredible.

[seanc]

The dude is a monster.. Michael seemed like the guy to beat but then its senior time and Hicky is like "hold my beer"

[cupidstunt]

A perfect symphony, he's the conductor and instrument.

[StuHolland]

Ive seen pretty much every onboard lap of the TT on YouTube and nothing comes close to how this made me feeel. An almost perfect racing line for 37 miles, flat out bravery and commitment, just unbelievable riding. All TT racers are legends but hicky is just something else 😮

[Lilbee]

I'm not rly a Motorsport fan but every time I think about the isle of man tt I have to watch some footage. Just insane stuff. You don't have to be a fan at all to recognise how insane this is
