Yes, what I tried to say it's that it's true that the riders who killed themselves on the Mountain Circuit had voluntarily put themselves at risk. But at the same time it's true that the organizers - generically: "we" - have organized the context-event in which that deaths have been possible.

The modern mentality, in front of which the TT races appear as a "bloody anachronism", refers just to the second aspect in order to destroy the classic argument pro-TT as this classic argument makes reference *only* to the first aspect of the problem. For Don: yes, the experience is much important, but the modern mentality follows a fix grammar. In my opinion behind the nanny-mentality there is non other than the technical mentality: in our days the circuit of a motorsport event is not considered as a fixed and immutable reality, but is considered as a thing that can be changed in order to increase the "quality of life of the individual" (in our case: in order to reduce the risk). The TT races is just the negation of this modern axiom. And this is why I consider them the greatest motorsport event of the past, of the present, of the future;-).
