Agreed.

The consensus of me and the guys (we're all locals) I've been watching with for 25 years is that we'd rather see 40 quality finishers than watch an extra or 20 or so get lapped, interfere with the leaders, or fall off and hurt themselves.

The TT is so unique, and so inherently dangerous, that only those who have proven themselves to be capable of handling it shoud be allowed to start.

PP & the team are TRYING to achieve this. And knocking their every effort (FC), doesnt help the TT's long term future.

im not trying to knock the work done by PP and his team, my point is that to keep the TT going the kids have to be kept interested, and as all parents will tell you if the kids are bred with something they lose interest. The time gaps between the riders after a couple of laps yesterday was easily noticed, and I for one like to see plenty of bikes not just the same two classes of bikes that we have now. I dont have the answer but I do have an opinion and that is allow more riders to enter the races let the quality at the accepted speeds and those that are left could have thier own combined non qualifiers races.
