Wish they would have moved the RST Parade lap for more practice - KypDurron - 05-06-2015

Especially this year when the lads still need practice dialling in before the races?

Why? Saturday practice means they've caught up from Monday's wash/blow out, so they'll get the same practice as every year.

I'm also guessing that the heavy wind forecast for tomorrow will be less in the morning (hence the practice sessions), and worst during the parade lap.

I've been thinking for a few years that a bit more than normal amounts of practice would let some of the lower guys get closer to the top boys.

I'd also like to see a Superstock 2 race.

What and upset the "stars" that have no intention of ever racing at the TT. They are just there on a "freebe".

I doubt that - all that would happen is the fast guys would get faster than the more normal guys. You've either got the mentality to go as fast as the top guys, or you haven't.
