As a long-standing TTFan I find myself commenting again on the decision to bring over two riders to the TT and forgetting such riders as Philip McCallen, Alex George, Trevor Nation etc etc....Kevin and Randy are great guys and are fine ambassadors for the sport in general but I wonder WHY they have been picked out to do the lap. I'm sorry I just cannot see the connection. Is it another MCN involvement, "I rode with Schwantz and Mamola, they thought the TT course bl**dy dangerous" article ? The fans just see two bikes go past, it could be anyone under the helmets........At the Grandstand you can't get near them for VIP people crowding round them. And its all over and a totally irrelevant set of comments appear in the weeklies. This is just my opinion and some of you will come back with abuse...but think before you do, this is not TT to me !

Just had a communication from Philip McCallen...he IS riding in the ARAI LAP ....GOOD !!!! but who else from past TTS ???
