Well Bee Pee you might not be being cynical, you might just be observant.
It will be no surprise to you that the first board meeting of the new ACU Events Ltd (there was and old one) was on Sept 27th 2007, and in a remarkable coincidence the MMCC's letter of resignation was signed on Sep 27th 2007; possibly signed by someone with their right hand as their left hand may have been up their back.
It does make you wonder why the MMCC (or some of them) had to publicly express disappointment after the letter of resignation was issued.
Would this indicate a lack of collegiality at the MMCC, or perhaps there is a new and an old MMCC?
But then I can remember being roundly criticised for speculating on this same subject some time back.
Still the functionaries at the DTL have chosen their preferred organisers and I fervently hope it is the best choice for the TT riders and spectators in 2008.
