It depends on how you read my point as ever the real meaning gets lost in the written word.

There is no doubt that the Manx needs all the sponsorship it can get................... but not at the cost of losing it's core values.

It's an amatuer event............there is real and genuine sportsmanship (something the TT has lost)

And of course sponsors want to have their products and services advertised but not to the extent that the races are over shadowed with corperate junkets, lunches and men in suits............
