I would be the VERY last person to take any accolade from Davids wonderful showing at the last few TTs-----A lap record and multiwins in a very short period---
However in the "old days" it took the "names" years to accumulate the total wins now assigned to David--He is a superb rider, no question, but I do wonder what else we will remember of 2002....

My point is that the TT is a road race for specialists in road racing, not just an event for once a yearers (Though I suppose it has been that for a while now!)

You lot know how much I favour the TT....I spend money there for heavens sake,but I feel it is going off on a tangent a bit with one or two aspects not completely acceptable to an old fogey TTFAN like me.....Maybe I should, after attending each year since 1947, give it all up and live on me memories.................However I ain't ready to do that yet..

SEE YA ALL IN MAY !!!
