I'd imagine Neil Tuxworth is a man sitting in a very hot seat at the moment.

Jonny Twelvetrees is the Team Manager at Honda Racing UK these days. I would imagine that Neil Tuxworth's currently feeling like he's dodged a bullet or three.

My memory isn't what it was - but I think that Honda tried to talk him (Moodie) into starting then pulling in at QB 'to give the fans something' but he refused.

Nothing like posting scuttlebutt memories from the last century to make you feel your age..........

RE: Can Guy race - Alfie Noakes - 18-05-2017

Indeed, all good memories though. I don't think he started the race, my aging memory is seeing his van early doors down at the Steam Packet getting away early in the week. I think he also "cough" told Honda that the Blade was the same speed as the quick Supersport 600's past the pits, it didn't go down very well at all.

I think you are correct about it being the Senior, and it was the the production that he pulled it at QuaterBridge

RE: Can Guy race - eman1948 - 18-05-2017

If there is a throttle issue with it better they pull it now as they have left it far to late to sort and race at the TT. Guy is well off the pace at the moment and he doesn`t want another accident through no fault of his own especially at the TT on a bike that`s not up to it.
Stoner broke his leg badly a few years ago on the GP bike with the same problem. If I`m wrong I am sure I`ll get corrected.

Yes, Stoner did have an "Incident" with a stuck open throttle mechanism back in 2015, at the 8 hour Suzuka.

He came off and broke his leg and shoulder.

Here is an old stock picture I found of him after he had received repairs.

Not necessarily, Mugen could draft in a replacement for McG. Does Bruce have a ride booked in the TT Zero?
