Here is something to think about, if the gap between the fastest rider and the slowest is reduced, then does this mean that there is more of a change that the number of starters on the TT grid increases due to the time difference?

Forget it I will answer that myself, No, you can only fit a certain amount of starters in the time allocated. The problem is that the fast riders are so fast it is reducing the time that they are taking to complete a lap. This then puts a strain on the time difference between them and the last man off the line. As everyone knows catching the riders with a slower time is dangerous from two perspectives.

1) that if the speed difference is great, and that if the quicker men are catching them sooner the risks increase for ALL riders. No matter what you say its all on time at the TT and the faster you go the more chance you are of meeting the, please don't take this the wrong way, slower riders who set off at the back of the grid. But if the speed difference is reduced this makes it safer as the first rider doesn't catch them as fast.

2) If the first rider is dissadvantaged because he comes accross more slower riders, to the rider further down the list who may be just as fast , will he take more risks to pass them? Lets face it, racing is racing and they want to win as much as the slower riders just want to beat their personal goals. But this is also reduced as the speed difference is less, or hopefully, so its a fairer race.

I don't know if this makes sence, but I have tried.......... so hopefully this will be good for the TT.

I still would like to see a support race though for those who don't quite make it on the grid.

Oh god did I just support Paul....... hang on I think I have a temperature...... whats my doctors number.......
