The Abus Norton ridden to victory by the late great Steve Hislop is needing a rider for the commemorative lap. (as appearing on Facebook)

A number of names have been put forward but my personal suggestions would be Alex George or Jim Moodie.

Jim rode the original Duckhams-Norton so he might get precedance

Any other suggestions ?

Michael Dunlop because he can then see how well a proper one geos but if he's not impressed it will make him realise how good Steve Hislop was.

Is there a list of the bikes and riders (so far) anywhere..??

Apparently Alex George is being bye-passed with regard to appearing in a parade lap and elsewhere this has triggered off a great string of comments, making it plain that spectators are expecting a commemoration of 100 years of the TT Mountain Course...NOT a parade lap majoring on MotoGP riders....yet again.

For once I recommend you to look at over 70 comments made in Alexs favour on Facebook.

Your opinions please !

Why are MotoGP riders held in higher repute than TT Riders ???

Dame Kelly Holmes will be doing a lap next !!
