I think there are some good ideas here, no doubt inspired by the falling entries for the MGP, which has been triggered by the ridiculous TT course licence.I always wanted to compete in the MGP rather than the TT,but that was prior to ladies being allowed to enter.Also,there was the age limit in the MGP.There have always been an element of riders who have been a little out of their depth in the TT, but until you have competed, you are unaware how fast you can go, and once you have done the TT you were banned from the MGP, even if you finished last.Now, many of the "also rans" will be able to have another go,allbeit in the smaller classes.Hopefully this may lead to more entries in the two stroke classes,thus keeping them alive, and bikes such as the Suzuki SV 650 can now run alongside them, so introducing some different machinery.Who has instigated these new ideas,does anyone know?A good step forward,I believe
