Spotted an open letter on Facebook yesterday. Guy Martin has said he will not ride the TT in 2016. Guy says he has had time to reflect while he was recovering from his accident at the 2015 UGP.
He is wanting to do other stuff outside of road racing and has decided for now to take a time out.
Good luck to the fella he has been a great competitor for the last 11 years or so. Personally I think he is making the right decision, as a rule road racing takes no prisoners and Guy has had his fair share of big offs.

I have always been a fan of Guy Martin but after reading his latest book, When you dead you dead, it seems he was not going to be offered a ride with any of top teams. He does not seem to respect other riders and what they do to keep their rides. TV work and road testing cars for newspapers give him enough income so he can pursue his cycling ambitions.

Slappy, he is still retained by TYCO and has the offer of rides in the NW200 and UGP. I think he did not want to be second fiddle to Hutchy at the TT.

Shame. This year is going to be my first TT and would have been nice to see him there. Does he not know how important I am?

And the first thing you need to do on your first ride on the Island is what?
