Ade, it wasn't this I was referring to, it was the remarks concerning Anita Buxton on the thread (a long one) entitled 'TT entries - how many' last month sometime. I still consider these remarks to have been very unfair and uncalled for, and it would have been nice to have seen an acknowledgement of the fact that she subsequently did very well at the North West. Bob Grant, who is an excellent road racer, was just behind her for most of the 400 race and said she had ridden 'magnificently'. She also qualified on the front row of the second wave of the Production Race, and was going well in that race too until a slight problem forced her to pull in after 3 laps. Hardly the performances of somebody not safe enough to be out there, and it would have been nice to have seen a bit of due credit given when the opportunity was there to have done so ! But this opportunity was flatly refused, leaving a bit of a sour taste.
