The first name on the list of “Newcomers” shown on the Isle of Man 2010 website (Newcomers – The official Isle of Man TT website) is Brandon Cretu, and he couldn’t be more excited about it.
“Ever since the first time I watched video of the Isle of Man TT, I wanted to race in it. I really made the decision to work toward this while I was recovering from my broken neck in 2007. In 2008 I went over and helped out a team to learn more and get some experience, then in 2009 I was able to do the Ulster GP. This year, I’ll race in the Isle of Man TT. I’m not exaggerating when I say this is a dream come true.”
