Dan ‘Ferret’ Cooper

(Rider – 675cc & Superbike IOM TT 2012)

Dan from Stroud in Gloucester says; “After competing in the 2011 IOM TT races, I believe I am still on a high, as the adrenalin, excitement, the thrill and the overall professionalism of the whole event will never leave me. I am looking forward to competing again this year in the Supersport, Superstock and Senior Superbike races with Centurion Racing. It is truly an awesome event.

At present for 2012, I will be competing in the British Supersport Championship but also preparing for the 2012 TT. I prepare physically and mentally over the winter months for the races at the IOM. I have the machinery and team backing to make yet another impact at the 2012 TT and I am looking forward to greater results and achievements than I had in 2011…..even though I managed to win four Bronze Replica Statues.

I was really pleased with the overall results especially as it was only my second attempt at the world famous road race. I have a strict training regime that has been devised for me and I follow this religiously at a local gymnasium, as well as keeping fit on my push bike, which all keeps me in good shape, prepared, focussed and fully committed.

I also have weekly consultations with a chiropractor and sports injury specialist, which keeps me in top condition and monitors my physical fitness.

We, as a team are all very excited again about competing in the TT this year, the atmosphere is electric, racing is superb, crowds are amazing, friendly and encouraging and the TT organisation for this famous road race is unbelievably good! – Can’t wait!!!
