Been there done that, yes I could see on the BBC (lol) coverage that the paddock was even more packed like sardines! No change with showers etc
Best change they made was splitting the 125/400/250 into their own races, typicial !
Now you know why local rider Victor Gilmore wasn't present this year for the reasons you listed and I say he's local, as you say not top team, but Vic been getting great results all year so far, now wish someone would give him a works ride and see what he does with that !
But all in all the racing was brilliant especially MIchael Dunlop what courage.
Thinking of you all, the DUNLOP family & friends.
