I think that out of the current TT stars GM might just scrape into the top ten.

If he never manages to win a TT he's hardly alone is he? And so what?? He's come close on a number of occasions; and history will confirm that he's consistently finished at the sharp end on the Isle: in an era when competition has been incredibly strong and the machinery ever-faster and reliable. To say Guy " might just scrape into the top ten" is an opinion that doesn't stack-up when the facts are taken into account. It appears to me that you're allowing your personal dislike of Mr Martin to cloud any objectivity that you possibly possess. Give the bloke a break.
