Iwill print all these out and send them to Harvey, so keep posting.
Another aspect which requires consideration is "when"... how many days and which.. MGP used to be early Sept... oddly enough the weather is often better, and it would avoid the clash with the UGP, which affects not only riders but a substantial number of marshals.
Also used to be Tues/Thurs... leaving Friday as a fall back... how about (radical now!!) practice Wed/Thurs/Fri/Sat daytime. Races Mon/Tues/Wed with Thurs/Fri as fallback
Like the idea of the post classics.. classics started as 25 years old, but that was a long long time ago. Not so keen on bringing back some of the specific bikes (remember 1989), but we must not stop having good races for modern bikes, esp if we are looking at the MGP as the feeder for the TT.
Newcomers need practice (in terms of races as well as actual practice) and must not be encouraged to go all out for awards or they will defeat the object of "newcomerism".
