Regardless of who is paying and how much, I think it's brilliant that Rossi is coming to the TT. It doesn't matter that he has no TT background - he is by far the most famous and high-profile motorcycle racer of recent times and his visit can only be good for the event. It seems that he has a genuine interest in the history of motorcycle racing, of which the TT is such a huge part. I'm really looking forward to seeing him, and hearing what he makes of the course!
