High profile TT newcomer Simon Andrews says no amount of homework could prepare anybody for the reality of seeing the mountain course for the first time.
The British Superbike Championship rider has been over for a few days this week as part of his preparations for his racing debut on the Isle of Man later this year.
He says he felt he had memorised most of the corners from studying on board footage, but that all changed at the start of his trip:
Football: Railway Cup hopefuls all maintain pace in premier league
Castletown stay four points clear atop Division 2
Rugby: Vagabonds Ladies stay top with another victory
Vagabonds men and Douglas also take respective wins on home soil
Hockey: Harlequins A beat rivals to close in on prem leaders
Bacchas B take important victory in battle for top-flight safety
FC Isle of Man torn apart at Barnoldswick Town
It's the Manx side's heaviest ever league defeat
