PokerStars was a very long time sponsor of the Isle of Man TT Senior Race and native TT rider Conor Cummins. Although we're an international brand that sponsors the likes of Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo, let alone the largest names in poker, the TT is something that we've been incredibly proud to support for the last ten years. When PokerStars arrange shop at the Isle of Man in 2005, it didn't take long to understand how important the two-week festival is to the Island, the folk that live here and of course, petrol heads the sector over. 

It's been our privilege to work with Conor throughout the rough and the sleek. Watching him come again from a terrible accident in 2010 and witnessing his return to world class competition was an awe inspiring tale of human spirit, devotion and bravery. 

He's a passionate competitor,  a proud Manxman and enjoys his poker, so it was little surprise to us that he take to each other with Fatima Moreira de Melo, an Olympic gold medal winner and member of Team PokerStars Pro, on the UK and Ireland Poker Tour a few years ago. That ended in a proposal to take her out for a spin on his bike during TT week earlier this month.

If you ever get the danger to go to throughout the TT you want to take it. It truly is like nothing else on Earth.
