THE MOUNTAIN COURSE: SECTOR 6

The final sector of the Mountain Course is the shortest, but one of the most crucial in the Isle of Man TT Races. 

SIGNPOST CORNER

Signpost is a very popular spot for spectating, and the private house, owned by the Bullock Family, is open on race days for a charitable donation. 

The views from the house, or the surrounding hedges after the exit are great to see the riders take the hard right hand turn. 

There’s a footbridge here too for safe movement to Bedstead, The Nook and Governor’s Bridge.

GOVERNOR’S BRIDGE

Governor’s Bridge may be the slowest corner on the world-famous TT Course, but it has provided more than its fair share of drama since 1911. 

The super-tight right-hander has witnessed countless spills, while Governor’s Dip often halts the progress of any competitor suffering from fuelling issues. 

Governor’s is unique to the TT Course, as the "old road" through the dip is the only stretch of tarmac on the entire Mountain Course not used by everyday traffic, making for one very slippery corner and something of a potential sting in the tail.

You want that souvenir photo? This is the place to be. The best places to be are at Governor’s for the entry to the corner, or at the top of Victoria road to witness them exit the corner, and go full gas back towards the start/finish line, just 0.48 miles away.
