Re: RESPONSE-THE COURSE
Nobody has suggested the strategic positioning of chicanes at places on the course !!!!!!!

No, joking apart, but think about this aspect....
.........They have been slicing bits off the corners for years, making the COURSE faster and faster, pretending its the bike developments..(?)

I am serious about this, having had some time recently to compare the TT course by pictures and video over periods of five years, and seeing from my research just how much has been done to the course. Of course it is not good to have riders suffering from double vision on sustained bumpy roads sections so they flatten out the bumps, but why take the character away from the bends that were bends and leave only slight, very fast curves.

Has it really been sensible and forward-looking to make a road circuit progressively blander over the years making it faster and therefore more dangerous ?

Do lap records mean anything anymore, if pieces of transverse roadway are chopped to make the circuit faster.

I certainly hope I am wrong but it makes me think.

Your thoughts please...........Especially the riders views.....
