Jennie Gow – “It’s an exciting time for the Isle of Man TT Races as the introduction of live coverage brings international recognition to the greatest road race of all time. It’s been on my bucket list for a long time as a motorsport presenter and I can’t wait to join up with the team on site and bring you all the action. We all know how exciting the TT is and that’s why we all love it.”

Matt Roberts – “This isn’t the first time I’ve been part of the broadcasting team for the TT; however, thanks to the introduction of TT+, I would say it’s the most exciting year, with by far the most potential. The important thing for me is that we can come together as a broadcasting team and really immerse the viewers in the action and convey the raw energy and emotion that’s synonymous with the spectacular Isle of Man TT Races.”

Cam Donald – “The Isle of Man TT Races have always been a massive part of my life, firstly as a competitor and now as a member of the broadcasting team and it’s hugely exciting. Although I have to say I’m not sure what I’m more nervous about: working on a live broadcast or hurtling down Bray Hill on a Superbike. They both get the adrenaline going and that’s what the TT is about, excitement.”
