From the past 21 solo TT races on the fabled, mythical Mountain Course, 32 solo competitors have obtained silver replica finishes.
This is an extremely interesting fact, illustrating that results of this ilk, nature are hard-fought collected.
Competition is ever increasing; speeds are ratcheting up making the goal of a silver-replica finish ever tougher.
Since 2022, racers from just seven nations have gained silver-replica trophies, England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, France, Czechia and Italy.
