I have set my 7 year old son a project to select the riders for the TT and their start numbers.

I reckon he will do a better job.

I can't think of many more qualified passengers to race the TT than Andy, although the top 10 are in the same playing field I suppose.

The ACU clearly know nothing about who the riders/passengers are and nor do they care. When a passenger of Andy's cilibre cannot ride having competed at the very highest level for numerous years there is something wrong.

Granted he may have had a break from the TT and so have I but neither of us has forgotten how to passenger or where the course goes.
