A lot of the top racers were unhappy with it mainly as its the Guy Martin show, but have to say I enjoyed it.

To be honest guy Martin managed to keep us entertained for the duration so film makers wouldn't care all that much that others got the huff haha!!

He is definitely entertaining I agree Rossgo which is as you say why the producers will have focused on him. I think the other top riders were put out as they got limited coverage compared to GM and in their words GM hasn't won a TT, yet anyway.

Personally I like GM both on and off track.

Same here Blade he's a bit job really think that's why we all like him so much! Plus he doesn't let he machnics do the work...he seems to be more "if I crash, I'll only have myself to blame" sort of guy!!

He's is definitely a character.

Competitors and rivals seem to dislike his popularity but the fans love him.

I've never bought into the Guy Martin thing. I can see why he's liked but I wouldn't be upset if I saw less of him presenting TV stuff.

Definitely right on that, you either love him or hate him. Baron von grumble did a nice little Interveiew with a couplw of the riders at last year's TT

Can't remember what was said I'll find it though
