It's the one thing that bugs me in a major fashion - these days there are no end of stifling safety regs regarding the racing, the riders, their crew, their kit, the spectators etc but when it comes down to practice as in time out the circuit learning we have less time than we used to have - the standing start one lap sessions don't teach anybody about getting through Bray Hill at top speed or the chance to get into some sort of rhythm. I know / understand people have to get home after but what was ever wrong with the big Thursday practice session ?, what would be wrong with starting practice after lunch / midday on a couple of days so that riders with less laps in would be more relaxed if they were dealing with machine issues combined with the weather issues ?.
