The tragic consequences of letting a few riders out onto the course with no recent race experience, despite declaring that they had, brought in the course licence!

The plain fact is that nobody should be on the TT course unless they are up to race speed and awareness. The more you race the more competent you are. There may be exceptions but how can you tell who they are in a fair manner.

What happens in the event of a major incident and it is found that the competitor involved shouldn't have been on the circuit?? This has happened fairly recently on a few occassions with sad results.

There is more than just competitor selfishness involved here. As the 'cregnybaa' say's, the trauma suffered by some spectators and marshals who have never seen a major incident before is considerable. Not to mention officials who have to deal with family and friends etc.

Until there is an alternative to the TT course licence that works, we are rightly stuck with it in my opinion.

Sorry but I feel very strongly on this subject!
