Isle of Man TT legends name a MotoGP rider who could tackle the Mountain Course
Which M🌠otoGP rider would be best at the Isle of Man TT?

Legends of the Isle of Man TT have debated which MotoGP rider would excel on the Mountain Cours🔴e.
A recent Monster Energy Day brought together elite r🌠iders from road racing, Mo🦄toGP and World Superbikes at Silverstone.
ꦍDespite the differences in their disciplines, the subject of crossing over inevitably cropped up.
John McGuinness was asked which MotoGP rider wou♋ld perform well at 🅷the TT, and he responded to TNT Sports: “Not Marquez!”
But Peter Hickman saꩲid: “But Marquez is the one who’✱s got the head for it.
“He’d have 🗹a go. He wouldn’t think too much about it, he’d crack on.”
McGuinness said: “I think you’d want a smooﷺth, calculated rider like a Vinales w🐓ho’d suit the TT.
“But their programme is so busy they wou🧸ldn’t have time to do it. I’m sure they’d have the minerals.
“If they really𝕴 set their mind to it, any one of those MotoGP guys would be competitive at the TT.”
Hickman replied: “100%. If you can ride a bike🍌, you can ride a bike and it doesn’t matter where it is.”
Marquez has previously said about the TT: “I have a l🌱ot of respect for the riders that race there, but I don’t like it.
“I like to have fun, to enjoy♛ riding, t﷽o look for the limit; to go to the Isle of Man is to gamble away your life, that's how I see it.”
