I came over this year with a truly open mind....

It has been both exciting and sad so that has not changed, but something has to be done to make the classes of racing different. As Mick Chatterton observed, it was like seeing one race over and over. Could starting numbers be different each race for instance ? worked out on leaderboard positions ?

It was good to be able to see the riders in their awnings instead of them being out of sight.

I'm just home after driving back through the night from Heysham to Reading.

I'll catch up on my sleep and then give my appraisal of TT 2005.
