<p><b>One week in June. One small island. 40,000 annual visitors. Raw speed. Numerous annual deaths. The Isle of Man TT motorcycle road race. </b><br><br><b>Five minutes to go.</b> The claxon sounds, harsh as an air raid siren. Television crews attempt last-minute interviews with riders.
The thousand yard-stares give it away: they're really not listening now. <br><br><b>Four minutes to go.</b> The grandstand is packed. Some racers tell their mechanics, 'I'll see you later for a pint' - just to make themselves believe they will.<br><br><b>Three minutes to go.
</b>For the first man on the road, hidden dangers exist. He will have no-one to follow. And he is the hare that the greyhounds will be chasing. <br><br><b>Two minutes to go.</b> By the end of the first lap, riders will be howling past faster than a bullet from the barrel of a gun.
A full 160pmh. And that's not even the fastest part of the course.<br><br><b>One minute to go.</b> The atmosphere is palpably tense. It's like no other sporting event on earth. Formula 1 drivers can crash spectacularly and just walk away. Everyone knows that's not the case here.
<br><br><b>Five seconds.</b> The starter raises the chequered flag, ready to snap down. No more time for nerves, for doubts. The race has started. How it will end, no-one knows. The TT has begun. <br><br><b>In <i>Ragged Edge</i>, Stuart Barker will write the definitive story of this unique event, from the tarmac up.
The history, the atmosphere, the heroes, tragedies and legends. And most importantly: our fascination with this seductive yet perilous test of skill and daring. This is the unvarnished, raw truth behind the world's most dangerous sporting event - in the words of those who ride it.</b></p>
