very well put peter, i agree with your thoughts 100%.my first tt was 1959 through to 1999 without a miss.again in 2003.i,ve also helped riders financially when i could but something is missing now.am going back again this year as my son has started racing and has his mind fixed on the mountain circuit.its in his blood i suppose.i look forward to seeing rossi and ago,it will be good publicity for whatever reasons.phil read was accepted back and this maybe helped mike to decide to return no one will ever forget that.enjoy and make the lads welcome.
