WERA racer and Top 10 Ulster GP bike week finisher Brandon Cretu has announced plans to compete in the 2010 Isle of Man TT. For those unfamiliar with the Isle of Man TT it is considered by many to be the ultimate motorcycle race on Earth, requiring near perfection from man and machine. The TT runs on the mountain course that consist of public roads on the Isle of Man. Competitors circulate nearly the entire island on the 37-mile plus course. Riders must be prepared physically and most importantly mentally. Learning the long course takes time and dedication and even after racing there one can not truly “master” it for quite a few years with its endless bends, stone walls, telephone poles, jumps, and every other challenge a racer could comprehend. It is truly the ultimate test. Those that know Brandon would remember that he traveled to the Isle of Man back in 2008 to work as a mechanic for John Richards Pro Superbikes. This was an experience that would forever change him and solidify the idea of his dream to race “between the hedges” as they say. Coming off a top 10 finish at the Ulster GP bike week in the Dundrod National race and a great 2009 WERA season, Brandon is eager to head back to the Isle of Man this year to finally get his chance to race on the full mountain course. While racing at on the Dundrod circuit at the Ulster he went faster and gained more confidence in every lap he had on the course with the last lap of his last race being the fastest, 114.3 avg/mph. Brandon will be aboard a 2008 Suzuki GSXR600 provided again by Mark Hamilton under the Irish Bike Magazine banner after having a great experience riding for Mark at the Ulster GP.
