I think the balance of the mgp as is, is just about spot on. The new and old run well together and seem to keep the real enthusiast happy. Old bikes,new bikes,old folk,young ones, rubbing along well together. But i also think that a further hour NEEDS to be added to practice to help with track knowledge and safety. Don,t know how they,ll manage this with marshall,s,road closures and ;getting round the people against any more disruption; but i feel this should be looked at from the competitors point of view,. It,s the main gripe i,ve got against the event. As an old fogey,i now prefer it to the TT,something i thought i,d never say,but that,s what happens when you get the bus pass and heating allowance.
