Just back from Mallory where I spoke to Robert, but also spoke to some others as well who although had done the TT previously were turned down for the 125 TT.Very strange and obviously a ploy to keep the entry list down.Another worrying fact is riders been allowed to do the TT and then can do the Manx.It was always the case years ago you could do the Manx after doing the production TT only as it was run under national ACU rules and the other races were international races run under the FIM rules so no rider who had started in an international event & obviously held a FIM international lincence was allowed.I thought the Manx was the stepping stone to the TT??
