An American journalist reporting on the TT believes a new television deal in the US has great potential for boosting the event's profile there.
Kevin Warren is on the Island working for Cycle World magazine, posting daily updates on its website.
Discovery’s Velocity Channel will be taking seven specially-made TT programmes and screening them within 24 hours of each race.
Kevin says the deal should help cement the TT's reputation in the States:
