Also, is there any way to "target" people who did the Manx in 2006 but not in 2007 and see if there's any common reason for riders not coming back this year?
Just a thought.
I will give a nudge to all of the riders I'm in contact with but I agree with the above, there were several people I spoke to, including some previous racers who were just back to spectate this year, who think there's nothing they can do to make a difference now.
