There are a number of questions to try and reply to here now.

This year we increased the allocation of presentation tickets for competitors over previous years and they were distributed to all competitors in their packs. Some competitors didn't have packs as they didn't fill in their entry forms correctly, and had to go to the Race Office to have them made up.

On the evening of the first Prize Presentation several riders turned up at the presentation with their teams expecting to be let in without tickets as they had lost them or otherwise. My team worked hard to accommodate everyone and were courteous to everyone who had a problem. Unfortunately some competitors verbally abused members of my team, some working voluntary which is totally unacceptable and to date have made no apology to my knowledge.

Unfortunately we cannot hand out an unlimited supply of tickets to competitors which some seem to expect for obvious reasons.

Beepee - on track management means the management of the machines and the rider whilst they are on the track, the same as all other race related matters.

I am not sure why the TM's or other's may belive there will not be 10 Yamaha's available for the MGP, or why they believe that Signature Sponsorship, ACU Events Ltd or anyone else has had a hand in arranging such for the MGP. It is not either's job to do so - it is up to the MMCC to arrange whatever they need to run the MGP and from my side, I will offer all the support that is requested without wanting to interfere in someone else's event. Andrew Smith MD of Yamaha Motor UK has confirmed to me that 10 bikes will be available and I have no reason to believe that he was lying.

Best wishes
