I cannot see the relevance of having MotoGP stars ride round the TT Course on a lap. To some it is an insult to the riders who race the mountain circuit. To others its like having Sir Cyclist Hoy playing in the World Cup. Different disciplines entirely.

I know they all race on two wheels but surely we would appreciate a slow lap by previous TT winners on their machines rather than this show-off dash by these MotoGP riders who we don't really see as they flash by. We couldn't see them on the grid because of all the hangers-on blocking everyones view. And the post lap comments.....Oh Gawd !!

The Parade lap is no longer representative of days gone by..It's "Devil take the hindmost...just blat round...to heck with the spectators"

I realise the costs involved bringing the machinery over are prohibitive but perhaps the TT Budget could be re-routed to get us back to the original concept.

The TT has a wonderful heritage...we must NOT forget it !
