TT TECH Wrote:Since 2000 or maybe a little before, there appears to be another agenda for some riders and teams to racing the TT, I may be wrong and this may only be my view, but.

I feel that winning certain races is a secondary thought on many of the capable riders minds today, It looks to me as if there is much more prestige attached to the fastest lap around the circuit, and have noticed many a top rider pull out once this record has been achieved.

Care to give us some examples? I can't think of any rider who would want to loose out on the prize money on offer for winning a TT Race if they could help it. Take Adrian Archibald this year in the Suerstock Race - he blitzed the lap record, but then ran out of fuel on the last lap. He was inconsolable on his return to the Grandstand.

Should of put enough petrol in at the pit stop then, done it a few times myself, but never run out of petrol, pro teams?

Adrian was totally dependant on his pit crew for his refuelling. It was their mistake not his, and then his team manager has the nerve to criticise Adrian's lack of results in the major's.

I think he should be looking at the stable lads, NOT the JOCKEY.

It is 100% the refuellers responsibility to ensure that right amount of fuel goes in and until it has they should not let the rider go to start the next lap.

Just clocked Mr Parker, Mr Nelson and Mr Roy Hanks in a local hostilery, Ok Jim what's happening, no answer was the reply?? Oh could I have a recipt said Mr P.

Well at least if Roy Hanks was with them there was one person that knows his bottom from his elbow !!

But there's still total silence on yesterday's meeting though, still getting the mushroom treatment.

Having another god time at licence holders' expense were they?I would have tipped a pint over them if I had been there,I can assure you

Tel, was this hostelry in Douglas ? If so, I also observed the "group" partaking in a "libation". Didn't see you though.

"Allegedly" the CC that was used, was one that will result in charges being made against the organisation that they represent, and not against the individual. :?

Why does this not surprise me ????

(Unless of course there is a reconciliation of expenses incurred, at a later date)

Official expenses while "entertaining" other company/organisation representatives when on company business - ok, however personal usage would appear to be just another typical example of "milking the system". :yah

Not Douglas Malcolm, but the sunset city.

They must of been doing a pub crawl. :roll:
