I'm sorry it has come to this, it's quite sad really, never mind the implications.By the way Neil's father was called Donald, a fine man, who was very friendly with my Dad.
It's common knowledge that Neil and I had our share of disputes at a time when I was Riders Representative for the TT Races.
However, above all,Neil Hanson is a good man, who always put the Riders safety first, served the MMCC with distinction, and placed the Manx Grand Prix at the top of his list of priorities. I don't happen to agree with every decision he made, but at least he made them, stuck to them, and backed them up with sound reasoning. He will be a very difficult man to replace, and I think you will find that he will be sorely missed. I'm sad because, maybe, just maybe, it's another nail in the MGP coffin, an event that has always been my all time favourite race.
