I'm with you on the days off bit. Part of the TT for me was always seeing the rest of the island and enjoying the non-racing events. It's all a bit full on now. I also Marshall but don't want to commit to every day. I didn't take a bike last year for the first time. Largely driven by cancer where the sun don't shine making riding a bike impossible for now, but I enjoyed our camper van and didn't miss hooning about. Been there done that and raced for a few years. The number of speed limits does now make a lap pretty tedious, and how many times do you get to Ramsey and the mountain is shut. The TT is different now, but on balance I think the team have done a great job on keeping it relevant and viable. My 21 year old daughter loves everything about it, especially the paddock vibe and bumping into her biking hero, JM130.
