Rider had to make late changes to take part in this year's races
TT competitor Dom Herbertson says it's been 'overwhelming' to see how much others have helped to get to this year's races.
In a late change, the Hexham man has set up his own team, Herbertson Road Racing Company, to be able to take part in the 1000cc and Supersport races in 2025.
Whilst he already had a Supertwin ride confirmed with Melbray Racing, his plans for the other classes were thrown into doubt in April after his previous team, WTF Racing cancelled its road racing plans.
But he told Radio TT during last night's qualifying sessions he wouldn't be here without the kindness of others:
