Nick,

We've been having a discussion about parade laps and it would seem that the general consensus is we'd like to see TT riders and/or bikes. MotoGP stars do nothing for me at all! I didn't even recognise Capirossi when he was stood in front of me in parc ferme.

I thought it was fab to see DJ's bike back (BTW, I was the last person to scrutineer that bike at the TT. I remember it quite clearly, as DJ specifically asked me to do it) and lovely that you wore his helmet design and not your own - what a fitting tribute.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Manx sometime in the next couple of years then!

Jo
