Other than that, there seems to be some great changes!

How does the 'safety point of view' affect this? Or have I missed something?

I only have one reservation that is that the Blue Riband of the Event should close the event as per TT in june other than that it looks like im going to be very busy at next years event should all my entry,s be accepted.
Senior MGP should close event roll on MGP 2011...... Irish Ago.

The Blue Riband event IS closing the meeting, The Classic Superbike race!!!!!!! The 1980s are the future!!
Now the whinging about replicas should be over lets see the the fast boys on the Superbikes and relive the days of Crosby, Grant Dunlop etc.
Should be a great spectacle seeing Classic bikes being ridden fast. Look at the interest Michael Dunlop created riding one this year. And HOW fast, 1.3 secs away from being fastest of the meeting. Imagine if he was being pushed by Ryan and Guy.
Can,t wait.

The Senior MGP is the Blue Riband, I can't help feeling that there seems to be a plan to push the modern bikes to the background, and fill the event with Classic races. I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of 'Classic' racing.

Paul Phillips doesn't want modern bikes at the manx ask him.

Read the last sentence of Geoff Corkills statement,

''We believe that the changes will appeal to competitors and visitors alike as we look to build on our ambition to become the world’s best classic racing experience.”

I am sure that theres room for both but I am sure that the Classics attract far more visitors and thats what the MGP needs to be able to continue.
