Guy Martin to race in the States

It seems Guy Martin, the barely understandable, though immediately lovable road racer of Isle of Man TT fame will compete in the 2014 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. One of the stars of the Isle of Man TT, and perhaps the fastest man on the Mountain Course who has never won an IOMTT race, Martin’s involvement with “The Race to the Clouds” has been a long time coming.

The organizers at the PPIHC have long been trying to get riders and teams from the Isle of Man TT onto the Pikes Peak road course, in an effort to bolster the race’s international appeal and reputation, as well as breathe new life and interest into the historic American race.


They'll need someone to interpret for him.

Iirc an Electric bike won it last year, as the race is up a mountain (clue is in the name) altitude is an issue, can't see Guy racing a glorified 2 wheel milk float up a hill.

Then beat his lap record by doing it on his mountain bike.
