The team posting photos of themselves on social eating ice cream and laughing bout the situation seems like a desperate attempt at trying to save face. Maybe if they had taken the job a bit more serious in the first place their bikes would be capable of tackling the TT course.

Are you taking the 'pee', mate? Do you think they put the work in they did just to do a half arsed job of it for a paycheck? That's ridiculous. If the machine has fundamental flaws that either didn't show up until the TT or just before, making as if they've been sitting on their thumbs all this time is ridiculous.

As for last year, that was last year's bike. Are you really so dense as to blame the problems with this year's bike on things they did or didn't do with last year's bike?

Lots of people failed last year. I don't recall the Suzukis going any quicker. In fact, unless I've been living in an alternate universe, pretty much everyone was slow compared to the BMW last year, so by whatever standard you measure things, almost everyone failed.

If they got on the island this week and the bike started showing problems it hadn't previously, they had one day to find the problem and one day to try and sort it before he quit. That's not exactly a wealth of time.
