Interview with Guy Martin
Bikeanimal.com: Hello Guy. First of all, was it important for you to stay with the Hydrex Honda team?
Guy Martin: Yeah, they're a cracking bunch of lads, they don't blow their own trumpet and they're just great to be around. If I'm riding like a fool then they'll tell me. If I were to go and ride for another team for next year's TT, then you've got to get to know all the lads, get to know how everything works, but here I know that already.
BA: You're perhaps more famous for your exploits on the road. What would be more important to you this year, winning the TT senior race, or winning five rounds of the BSB?
GM: No competition, TT all the way! If you win a round of the BSB, you're forgotten about the following week. But if you win a TT and set a lap record nobody's going to forget that in a hurry are they?!
BA: What would you like to get out of this year?
GM: I want to be consistently in the top eight at every meeting, that's the plan, and hopefully work my way up from there.
BA: You're a fan favourite. Why do you think that is?
GM: I don't know! I just speak my mind, I've got no airs and graces, and I don't blow smoke up anyone's arse!
BA: Thanks a lot Guy, and good luck.
GM: Job's a peach boy.
