Peter, in an interview in the latest TT Supporter's Club magazine Paul stated that there will NEVER be a 250 British championship aligned to the BSB meaning that proper race bikes won't be seen at the TT again. As reported elsewhere on this site, the ACU (who should be applauded for this) have granted British championship status to the 250s as part of their new iniative. Hopefully everyone (riders and spectators) will get behind this and allied to the efforts of the Gary Dynes foundation in Ulster, the 250s might re-appear some time.

In fairness to Paul (and Milky's) efforts, the standard of newcomer has noticeably improved in the last two years. All we need to do now is get a bit of variety into the classes and the job's a good 'un!
