The likes of Doohan, Hayden, Crutchlow and Brookes rode at the Isle of Man TT on Wednesday.

Selected stars of MotoGP and British Superbike took to the track for an Arai parade lap at the Isle of Man TT on Wednesday under the expert guidance of five time 2010 TT Champion Ian Hutchinson.

The group included Australian legend Mick Doohan, who won five consecutive 500cc World Championships in the late 90s, 2006 MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden, Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Cal Crutchlow and Australian BSB rider Josh Brookes.

Talking about the experience, Doohan later said that it one of his greatest experiences on a motorcycle, while Hayden revealed his respect for the riders who tackle the TT Mountain course.

Racing on Wednesday was rescheduled for Thursday following a rain shower that lashed the circuit during the first Supersport race of the day.
