Its hard to believe that these rules are real. The dates that they give you to qualify are out of season. And as everybody knows alot of riders just do the one big race a year the MGP especailly the classic riders. Also what about the riders on the Isle of Man? there have to go to the mainland to qualify. I could understand it a bit more if they said 3 races over the year excluding the Manx to qualify, that way its more managable.

What about the TT riders to like Jason Griffths that only do a small amount of meetings over the year, but are excellent TT riders?
