yes hello I'm here in Spain and I'm
really really proud to uh present our
1,000 bstv users the legend 19 times I
of Man TT winner John mcginness His
Highness for us here hi nice that you
talk to us hi yeah it's all good you
know with uh third year the Legends uh
program third year of World Endurance uh
you know we had a bit of a scrappy test
really weather's been a little bit hit
and miss uh but we done plenty of miles
we did a lot of wet testing and uh we
had two days at miror Val before we came
here so feel good you know I'm not
getting any younger but I feel strong
feel healthy you know looking forward to
the uh to the rest of the year you know
a busy program World Endurance Northwest
200 TT and so uh yeah really looking
forward to the season great okay
yesterday I saw it the restaurant and I
immediately ran to my room and posted on
our Facebook fite to 67,000 people what
should I ask tomorrow to TRN mcginness
yeah and to be honest there the much
important question for our users is how
big are your balls yeah they are
absolutely massive they're like maybe a
elephant balls maybe but uh no it's uh
it's nothing to do with the size of your
balls it's the it's it's the amount of
skill and I have you know that's what it
is only joking but uh yeah you know from
from the outside looking in it does look
crazy you know and uh you probably asked
the question why do you do it but uh you
know it's a it's a great track it's a
great thing to be involved in you know
I've done it many many years it was part
of the World Championship it's the
hardest toughest track in the world you
know it's yeah it's one of the most
dangerous but uh it's one of the most
rewarding tracks you know and uh you
know when when you watch it it looks
crazy but it's not when you're on the
bike and you're riding around just
having fun and uh doing what you do
doing your job and then when you win one
it's very special you know so but you
you also think it's one of the most
dangerous things you can do in the world
yeah yeah it's got to be you know it's
no there's no getting away from the fact
that it's very very dangerous and I've
lost quite a few friends around there
over the years and uh you know I've seen
some uh nasty things but uh you know
like you say you know the in racing the
UPS out outweigh the Downs you know and
uh when you're having a good run and
things are going good it's brilliant you
know sometimes racing is a bit selfish
but uh you know that's what we do that's
that's my job so uh but yeah it is very
very Danger but also it's a it's an
incredible thing to see you know if
you're if you're ride motorcycles and
you're you go to the Alam man you would
enjoy it and if you don't enjoy it
you're not alive okay and compared to
the Val um Championship you're active
there since since it's 2 years was it
big problem for you or was it just easy
it was just a children playground out
there compared to the idol of men what
was it well I can assure you the World
Endurance is tough it's a it's tough
racing you know you what when they
decided to do this I thought it was
going to be a lot easier than it is but
I found it very difficult you know I did
many laps uh you know 24-hour races it's
uh it's like you say it's endurance you
know and uh it's it's physically hard
it's a lot harder than the TT you know
the TT for me is nice flowing fast nice
Rhythm you know this is so intense every
lap you cannot make a mistake you know
you're passing other Riders all the time
and nighttime you know cold conditions
hot conditions everything he's thrown at
you in a World Endurance race but uh
it's a it's been a new challenge for me
you know it's frustrating I'm not not
stood on the podium yet you know we went
seventh in the championship to Fourth
hopefully we can go a little bit better
this year and uh we can stand on the
podium regularly but it's a there's big
differences but sometimes they're the
same you know like you can't make a
mistake at the TT and you can't make a
mistake at World Endurance so there is
some similarities but I find this harder
than than the TT okay so that's uh the
guys from World urance Championship must
have bigger balls than you then H I
don't know about bigger balls maybe
bigger brains I don't know uh but like
you say the
the like the CT team the BMW team GMT
the Riders are all you know I respect
them so much for what they do you know
you never you know they've come from
World Super Sport World Super Bike and
uh other championships but when they got
an endurance P they go fast fast fast
all the time so consistent they just
bang bang bang bang every lap so I can
do it I can do the same you know but
we're just a little bit slower than
these guys at the moment so you know
hopefully this year we can be a little
bit closer and give them more of a
challenge but uh yeah they're they're
they're very special they're very unique
Riders uh it's a it's like a completely
different trade you know all the things
you're learn you know you have to
control it a bit more and be consistent
and fast and you know and strong and fit
and healthy and it's just it you know
after 13 14 hours into an endurance race
I just want to commit suicide you know
he just he pitch black and you know you
just keep going and going like an old
diesel truck okay thank you nice and all
the best to you for this season yeah
thank you cheers
