For those that want to see a 250TT and a 125 TT then this has to be better than nothing.

However I have today discovered that the price to pay for this is the loss of the 125/400 Steam Packet race. In fact 400s are excluded completely from the Steam Packet races.............Southern 100 next? Manx GP ?

I realise that 400s are getting old now and that perhap their time is coming but to specficially excluded them is I feel a step too far they will die a natural death in time

So I ask myself what is the overall gain here...................or more importantly who will gain


I just wonder how many local (IOM) Manx GP competitors will miss out on a meeting vital to them getting the dreaded course licence.

Seems to me that once again the rich and powerful are the winners while once again the ordinary club national racer losses out.
It was ever so.

I hope they enjoy their faux TT ...........sadly I can't go now
