TT Rewind: 2010 Senior TT

The 2010 Senior TT was without doubt one of the most dramatic races ever witnessed on the 37.73-mile Mountain Course and, although it was the race in which Ian Hutchinson made history by taking five wins in a single week, it only tells half of the story.
The start of the race saw Hutchinson, John McGuinness, Guy Martin and Conor Cummins locked in battle with less than 6 seconds covering the four riders after the first two laps, with McGuinness seemingly in the ascendancy as he charged from fourth to first on lap two.
However, 4 miles after the first pit stop Martin crashed heavily at Ballagarey and the resulting fireball and debris brought out the red flag. It was without doubt one of the most spectacular crashes ever witnessed at the TT Races and while he was injured in the 170mph crash, Martin miraculously made a swift and full recovery.
The 4-lap re-start was equally close between Hutchinson, Cummins and McGuinness, with Hutchinson leading on the opening lap by just 0.5 seconds before McGuinness was forced to retire at Glen Helen on lap two. Cummins then crashed spectacularly at the Verandah, sustaining multiple injuries but again making a full recovery.
Hutchinson went on to take victory from Ryan Farquhar and Bruce Anstey by over 35 seconds, creating history in the process as the first and only rider to win five TT Races in a single week.
The race, as part of one of the most dramatic TTs in history, was immortalised in the critically-acclaimed film TT3D: Closer To The Edge.

Miracle man - Hutchy

[@erwiin9725]

[@garrywhitelaw8723]

Then he broke it again before he came back to the TT.

[@zairiezulkifli785]

i think the first crash at silverstone 2010 right? and second at senior tt 2017 if i not mistake...

[@garrywhitelaw8723]

Conor Cummins must be getting royalties for that crash that these guys can't afford.

[@IgorFonseca244]

Dude's a tough guy, first time I saw that horrible crash, I thought "no way somebody can get away of that shit", absolutely insane. So glad he survived and still with us and with a family to take care now, I really root for him to win at least one TT race. No one deserves to get on the top step of the podium than Cummins rn. So I really hope TT come back asap for that.

Conor Cummins got rag dolled off of a mountain and came back competitive.

Hey fellow bikers, I'm trying to help out a friend in need, he used to ride heavier bikes as a young guy, got diagnosed with COPD Alpha 1 (genetic inherited lung emfysema) around the age of 30, he's closing in on 50 and now also suffers from heart and lungfaillure, regular lung attacks, he has riden 50cc's those 20 last yrs, but now because of low income he can't afford a bike/moped any more, so he started a fund me page, when using google translate you should understand his story to. Asking to share his page or if able to donate to get him riding again. Thx for reading. @ Original in Dutch.
