I would like to take this opportunity to say what a pleasure it was working with Mick Skene at this years MGP.
Very rarely in this or any other sport to you come across a person of such immense talent without an immense gob to go with it.
Mick was ultra professional at ALL times, and gradually progressed throughout the fortnight on the bike.
He is a man who has time for everyone, always polite and never a bad word about any one, even when I felt some did deserve a bad word!!

When Mick won the Junior race it was THE most emotional time I've had on the IOM, as he totally deserved it! When he told Budgie and I after the Senior that he was retiring I was over the moon! Usually when a rider retires he gets talked out of it (I should know), but in Micks case it was the best decision and one that I feel the whole team were hoping he would make.
So once again WELL DONE MICK!!!
IT WAS GREAT!!!
