As I said in my first posting, I cannot see how these non full-time racers are allowed out on closed roads when experienced riders cannot get a licence because they haven't got the required number of points.

Are you telling me Arthur that all these parade riders have an up to date licence to venture on to the COURSE? Surely they are just as vulnerable to having an accident as anyone else? The fact that this is a parade lap has nothing to do with it.

Or would you rather see the demise of the MGP in favour of parade laps?

Of course we all enjoy the parade lap, but isn't this about Health and Safety?
