As long as the weather continues to affect practice time like they have in recent years, short of giving a blanket road closure order, I dont see how it is going to be addressed.
I agree with Eddy ref Josh Brookes, but for possibly different reasons.
I am uncomfortable with the the way some of the newcomers are either expected, or are under there own desisions laping so fast, so quickly.
It is another reason that I dont agree with the recruiting of riders they way that the DED is doing it.
I think we have been very lucky in recent years that thge likes of Steve Plater, Kieth Amour, Josh Brookes and Peter Hickman ( to name a few) have had safe rides, but it could easily have gone the other way.
The Mountain Course is something you should want to do of your own accord, and when you do, build up to it in a safe way over a few years, not be attracted to just to ultimately be paid for appearances in VIP areas/dinner/ etc.
