By A new initiative from TT Races title sponsors Monster Energy, the People’s Challenger award recognises a non works racer, a competitor who has against the odds achieved tumultuous feats.
Four racers were in contention for the award, Dominic Herbertson, Milo Ward, Jamie Coward and Nathan Harrison.
After almost 15,000 votes, the public decided that the inaugural People’s Challenger award winner is current Senior Manx GP Champion Nathan Harrison.
Receiving 44 percent of the public vote, Harrison’s latest notable racing achievement is just reward for an impressive maiden TT tenure.
Showing strong pace throughout practice week, race week to date has yielded Quayside Racing Powered by Isle of Man Steam Packet Company’s Harrison two top 12 finishes, one silver replica finish, three bronze replica finishes and a huge new personal best lap speed of 127.554 mph.
This makes him currently the 39th fastest TT racer in history. Quite the accomplishment for the popular, respected, highly praised Manxman.
