ROBERT DUNLOP - Anonymous - 13-06-2004
We would like to pay tribute to Robert Dunlop who has been "forced" into TT retirement with the dropping of the 125cc class.
We got to know Robert when he rode a Ducati for Oxford Products and followed his progress since then.
He will be sorely missed as a TT rider and as a TT person...We hope he will continue his relationship with the TT in other ways.

Just back from Mallory where I spoke to Robert, but also spoke to some others as well who although had done the TT previously were turned down for the 125 TT.Very strange and obviously a ploy to keep the entry list down.Another worrying fact is riders been allowed to do the TT and then can do the Manx.It was always the case years ago you could do the Manx after doing the production TT only as it was run under national ACU rules and the other races were international races run under the FIM rules so no rider who had started in an international event & obviously held a FIM international lincence was allowed.I thought the Manx was the stepping stone to the TT??

Who exactly was turned dowm? It seems silly that quality riders are having their entires declined, the TT needs whoever is keen to ride

I am sure THE GARY DYNES FOUNDATION would like to hear from any rider in this class who was refused an entry at the TT.
If you have any documentation on this please keep it.
