And partly for the Manx, as the event has a lot less leverage than the TT in gaining local acceptance for extended practice times. If they tried to shoehorn it into the existing practice timetable and reduce the petrol bikes track time that would be a huge blow, not only for the riders who pay a fortune to get there, but also for safety, with practice time being sorely lacking already.

If you look at the Martin Bullock webpage it says that the EXGP is already scheduled for next year at the manx. The TT wanted it, let them keep it. Practice time is too short already. If this is the future then i am glad i am alive now.
