A rivalry between two major TT stars is emerging which will be sure to tantalise race fans worldwide.
8 times winner Ian Hutchinson and multiple podium finisher Guy Martin are the riders in question, with the war of words sparked after Martin said Hutchi got lucky in 2010 when he recorded an historic five wins.
He insinuated it could have been a different story had 17 times winner John McGuinness not failed to finish the Super bike or Senior races.
Taking to his twitter, Ian Hutchinson joked, it's been a long day polishing my TT trophies, going on to write 8-0 in reference to their respective TT win tallies.
The first road race of the year will be the North West 200, on May 19th.
