The Isle of Man TT motorcycle road race is one of the most intense sporting events on earth. Every year, thousands of visitors flock to the island, but for those who compete, it's a different story. With its raw speed and high stakes, this event demands absolute focus from its riders. As the green flag drops, the riders are propelled forward at breathtaking speeds, with some reaching over 160mph on the treacherous course. The atmosphere is palpably tense, with the crowd holding its collective breath as the riders hurtle past. For those who dare to ride this course, there's no room for error - one mistake can be fatal. In "Ragged Edge", Stuart Barker tells the unvarnished truth behind this unique and perilous test of skill and daring. With access to the riders themselves, he reveals the history, atmosphere, heroes, tragedies, and legends that make this event so captivating.
