Just speculating but I wouldn't be surprised if its something to do with not wanting to ride the new 'blade.

For someone like Lee I'd think the TT will make up a fair bit of his earnings for the year and put him in the shop window for next years rides so he can't really afford a major gamble.

Still no word from the Honda Factory team either - I'd have been certain we'd have been notified of a replacement for JMcG by now if all was well in the camp (shuffle someone up from the satellite teams).

It'll be a shame for the event if they don't get sorted out.
