The road closing order as it relates to contingency days is predicated on lost sessions etc. I am sure this is something that could be changed by the govt going forward if there was a desire for it.

It is all very well if you are on the island asking for races to be pulled forward. Can’t imagine ever going to a sporting event/concert only to get there and it has already occurred. Additionally, sponsors pays a lot of money and have invited guests in place for the race.

Rightly or wrongly, weather forecasts that give even a chance of threading the needle will always be the preferred path is my guess.

Great point about rider fatigue AndG.
