De flesta hade nog gett upp långt tidigare men Ian är ingen Dysterkvist. Imponerande att ännu en gång komma tillbaka upp på prispallen. :tummenupp :hjarta

“Obviously, two years after that was bad with the frame on my leg, then Covid, and then I had a stroke.

“It’s been a nightmare, really, eight years of being nowhere near the pace but I’ve kept believing in myself and carried on going, training hard and everything.”

Hutchinson said he’s “not sure, to be honest,” when asked where he has found the resilience to push through that string of physical problems.


He added: “I just hope my daughter’s watching because daddy can still ride.”



Ian Hutchinson says he "kept believing" that he could return to being competitive in motorcycle road racing after suffering adversity in the form of a number of serious injury and illness setbacks which threatened to derail his career completely.

The Yorkshireman was speaking after finishing third in Thursday's Superstock race at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland.

The 45-year-old had multiple operations after suffering compound fractures to his leg in a crash at Silverstone in 2010, the same year that he won a record five races in one week at the Isle of Man TT.

Hutchinson displayed unimaginable resilence by heroically bouncing back to take his overall tally of TT wins to 16 in subsequent years but a major crash in the 2017 Senior TT saw him suffer another crushing blow in the form of a fractured femur.


After two lost years because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the three-time North West winner then suffered a stroke in 2023 which resulted in him have his racing licence revoked.




 
Det är segt virke i Hutchy, dessutom verkar han vara en väldigt sympatisk person. 👍
