About this product

Product Information

Ian Hutchinson - 'Hutchy' to his many thousands of fans - is a motorcycle racer like few others. A road racer to the core, he has enjoyed spectacular success at the Isle of Man TT, the North West 200 and the Ulster Grand Prix, but his own story goes far beyond even those triumphs. In the summer of 2010, Hutchy set the record for most wins in a single Isle of Man TT festival - five in all - having already won the Supersport class at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland. Then disaster struck. At a British Supersport round in September that year, he crashed heavily after being struck by another rider's machine, breaking his left leg so badly that at one stage it was feared it might have to be amputated. After many surgical operations and a long period of recovery, he fractured the same leg in 2012 while practising exhibition-riding for a motorycle show in London. Yet not even these disasters could keep the Yorkshireman from racing. After modifications to the gear levers and rear brakes on his race machines, he went out and won the 2013 Macau Grand Prix.Two years later saw an even more staggering return to form, when he secured three wins, a second and a third place at the 2015 Isle of Man TT, also winning the Joey Dunlop TT Championship Trophy for that year. Hutchy: Miracle Man is a book not only for fans of motorcycle road racing, but for anyone interested in the life and career of a brilliant rider and an extraordinarily brave and enduring man, a hugely popular figure not just for his achievements, but for his unassuming modesty, kindness and humour.

    A Truly Amazing Story about Sheer Determination

    I have always admired Ian Hutchinson's achievements but until I read the book I had no idea about the extent of his injuries and yes. The title of the book is spot on. I just wish I knew how he is recovering from his crash at this year's TT

    How to make road racing sound really boring!

    Real road racing is the most exciting sport on the planet and Yet this book makes it sound as exciting as washing the car on a Sunday afternoon! I rate Ian Hutchinson very highly as a racer, he's also A nice guy, I've met him on several occaisions, and yes he had a very nasty accident at Silverstone that left him with a properly busted leg and this is just about all he has talked about since. Slightly self obsessive in my opinion I have met paraplegic ex soldiers that make less of a noise about their injuries than Hutchy does! Mick Doohan had both his legs stitched together for a protracted length of time to save one of them that was badly damaged in a crash yet you don't hear him bleating on about it every five minuites. It would have been a far better read if he had something interesting to say but he doesn't and that is a shame. If you really want to get a proper feeling for the racing scene then buy That Near Death Thing by Rick Broadbent. Now that's a book that's interesting and exciting!!!!

  • Brilliant read

    I follow Hutchy at the TT so it was very interesting to read how he felt about everything that went on over the last 6/7 years with him. Certainly a miracle man to come back from what happened to him. A brilliant read.
