One of the all-time greats of motorcycling will be visiting TT 2011
Five-time MotoGP World Champion Mick Doohan will be on the Island for three days at the end of race week.
The Australian will start the second Supersport race and present the trophies for the Senior TT.
Doohan will get to see the mountain course from a different perspective when he takes part in an Arai parade lap on a Honda Fireblade alongside Ian Hutchinson, and he will meet fans on the Thursday as part of the 'Day of Champions'.
Doohan is looking forward to coming over and has tremendous respect for TT competitors:
