Moving dates is always a much bigger problem than you originally think. It has a big knock on effect.

Early morning practice could work again. It really adds to the atmosphere of the TT and could give another 5-6 hours a week practice, plenty of time for the 2 strokes. Minimum marshal manning levels could also be reviewed. I counted 13 marshals at Hillberry this year, 16 at Ballacraine last year and lots of similar scenarios around the course. And with all the headlines promoting just how many signed on this year, would it really be a problem?
