Quote from above "A spokesman for the TT race organisers ACU Events limited, which assess all the entries said decisions were made strictly on experience and performance over the last year".

Is it me, is it not a simple case of letting people know much earlier, even if they’ve not entered. If it’s strictly based on experience and performance from last years TT surely that decision could have been taken much earlier.

Can this not be done, say a couple of months after the TT has run? After all it needs to be done at some time, not when people have spent loads of cash. Then the organisers can inform each individual who they think has failed the experience and performance assessment and at least inform them if they enter for the next TT that they will not be successful.

I wouldn’t like to think it depends on the amount of entries that comes in as to how lenient the organisers are with the previous year’s performance.

Is this too simple?
