The high quality of newcomers to the TT is vital for the future of the event.
That's the view of former competitor and winner Richard 'Milky' Quayle.
As one of the rider liaison officers, he has recently been showing the likes of British Superbike star Simon Andrews around the mountain course ahead of his debut this year.
'Milky' says attracting big names who have the potential to go on and enjoy successful TT careers is very important:
