PokerStars was a very long time sponsor of the Isle of Man TT Senior Race and native TT rider Conor Cummins. Although we're a world 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 grasp how important the two-week festival is to the Island, the folks that live here and of course, petrol heads the sector over. 

It's been our privilege to work with Conor in the course of the rough and the sleek. Watching him get back from a terrible accident in 2010 and witnessing his return to world class competition have been 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 get on well 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 suggestion 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 wish to take it. It's like nothing else on Earth.
