If you've ever wondered what it's really like to race on the Isle of Man, here is a behind-the-scenes look from someone living the reality.

Growing up, Chris Moore was surrounded by racing - his stepdad was a TT legend, and it all shaped him into a rider who’s been chasing the Isle of Man dream for more than 35 years.

It was a life-changing moment in 1996 which helped open the door to the racing journey that followed.
From there, Chris has gone on to race on the iconic Mountain Course, building a story of resilience, sacrifice, family support, and real love for the sport.
And with his wife Lorna by his side, we really learn that racing isn’t just about speed -  it’s about the highs, the lows, and the people who ride every step of the journey with you.   You can follow Chris on Facebook here and Instagram here.   The Startline podcast is brought to you in partnership with the Manx Motorcycle Club, the Promoter and Rights holder for the Manx Grand Prix.
