At the moment of course John McGuinness immediately springs to mind.

Watched him a lot last year in BSB during qualifying and racing and he was so impressive.

Being honest the TT is a whole different ball game as has been proven over the years.

Personally i dont care how long a racer has been competing as long as he is going for all the right reasons.

Remember having a very in depth conversation with Les Shand as to his reasons for racing at the TT and i could not argue with any of them.

I still reckon that he is one of the most underated Scottish racers, who has been very unlucky with the timing of injuries.

Steve Plater for me still has a great deal to offer the sport, his all round experience in Endurance racing, Bsb and laterly the Roads, can only add to the fans enthusiasm of a relativly new face to the Roads who gives 110 % in the way of commitement.

Looking at it i feel you cannot compare the BSB short circuits to the "Roads" as its way different in the way of organisation, pressure, practise, and finally racing.

If you can combine the both as we have seen in the past, then you can trully be labelled a Great 8)

Many have aspired, not to many have fullfilled.

Those who have are a breed apart.
