Every body at the manx be it a faster or slower rider is here for the same thing they want to ride their bikes on the TT course. no-one gains anything from the manx, no money or anythin, so really nobody is taking anythin away from anybody.

How long must u have been coming to be classed as a "more experienced rider" or how fast do u have to go to be a "faster" rider...

Its just a joke.... i will take back everythin i have said IF (even though we know they havent) dunlop, farquar, ollie ect have been knocked back also from the post classic!

Without trying to get involved in the 250 debate (and as Olie has ridden one in the past, and is likely to be riding one at the Ulster I have no axe to grind regarding your comments- great bikes) it is unlikely that the riders you mention are to be knocked back from the post classic, as there has never been restrictions on classic riders at the Manx, only the modern rides. Olie Michael and Ryan could not,even if they wanted to ride in the modern classes, as they have all won replicas in the TT within the past three years.

However, just so you know, Olie is not riding at the Manx this year, so that's one less to worry about. The TT course is probably the most demanding of the pure road circuits, and he wants to be back to full fitness before he rides on the Island again, after his big off last year.
