Still Rossi here on the IOM awsome cant wait and i am sure he will attract more people to watch road racing can only be good for TT/MGP

I hope he does bring more publicity to the TT, but do you think it really needs it? It's a "World Class" event in it's own right. Rossi is, for some, a nice plus, but the 99% of the people are there to watch the racing, the Prom, Bushys , etc, etc.
Which still begs the question....what will it do for the little man (not meant as an insult) that has to schedule his time off work, work seven days a week to afford to race, not everyone has a factory ride and for some no sponsorship of any kind and don't get me going on the Ferry gouging ...
