Hutchy visits Onchan School ahead of trio of race wins 7 June 2010

TT star Ian Hutchinson visits Onchan School - just days before taking victory in Saturday's Superbike and today's Supersport and Superstock races around the world-famous Mountain Circuit.

The mild-mannered Yorkshireman stopped by the school with his Padgett's Honda and team bosses Clive and Fiona Padgett.

Teacher Mandy Gravestock said:

'Our Year 2 pupils have been learning about the TT and enjoyed the visit from Ian, who talked about his past TT races and about his hopes for the year. The children asked Ian questions they had prepared earlier in the term.'

She said:

'The children had earlier visited the ARD vintage bike collection at Kirk Michael, which they all thought was wonderful.'

This week's incredible run of victories bring Hutchy's tally of TT wins to six.
