I think that things do need to change to progress in all walks of life, however in the case of Manx radio and Geoff Cannell, I feel that Manx Radio have made a huge mistake.
The reasons are simple, he is the only other commentator with any idea about the TT, no disrepect to the others but they can generally only tell you what the latest top rider is doing at the latest Irish/BSB round.
One other person mentioned what happened to F1 cars when Murray retired and how it still goes on, but what actually happened in the case of F1 cars was that over a 4 or 5 year period we were gradually introduced to Martin Brundle who like Geoff started in the pit lane then slowly was put into the main box with Murray Walker, hence when MW retired Martin Brundle knew what to do, how to do it and the spectators all knew and recognised his voice. When sadly Peter Kneale, in fact from a commentators point of view, the late great Peter Kneale, passed away the other year Geoff was the obvious choice because like Martin Brundle we all knew him and generally he knew what he was talking about, but as for replacement s here God only knows, just hope its not Charlie stuck in the seventies Williams!!
Bring back Geoff!!!!!!!

ps Ago mentions Chris Kinley , Chris did a brilliant job doing Geoffs old job, i the pits and pre race o the rid, but Anchor man is something that needs years of knowledge.
