I'm back from the Manx today, listened to the Senior on the 'net, 1st time i've done that. I've had a few too many tonight to celebrate Seamus's win, not to mention Gavin's and Ian's, and everone else who performed well at the manx. Looking at a pile of bits last night, it's hard to believe that Gavin won today. As for Seamus, he told me that he couldn't win today, so I am SO chuffed for him.Pleased for Ian after many years of trying. What about Maria? Very impressed,well done.I'm sure she will be pleased
I've had the pleasure of meeting Cargo aswell. What a character!! He's promised to train hard for next year, and I've agreed to monitor his progress. Should be interesting.
Hoewever, I am really sad that the Manx has taken such a toll. It's a desperate situation. Please be careful with your remarks in the heat of the moment, because this needs thinking about. Serious thought in fact. I would hate to see any dramatic change take place with the Manx, I love the event in almost every way. I wouldn't give tuppence to watch BSB. But the Manx? I watched at Glentramman on Monday, just marvelling at the lads,(and lasses) thundering by, just having their own personal battle. Shoestring budgets alongside "names", all having fun. Not for anyone to stop that sort of fun. Let's wait a few days for the dust to settle, before serious debate begins. I honour those who have left us, and ,I'm sure we've all said it before, they were doing what they loved. But, MY GOD! It is SO sad
