RE: Manx Radio TT
I just wish that Radio TT would live up to its name and stay on air when roads are closed and bikes are still circulating, they should not go back to the studio untill the roads open car gets back to the Grandstand, there are times when people are sat up on the Mountain waiting to get home with no idea what's going on because their information channel that they are told to take with them so they know what's happening has bug---do off and is now playing music , and they don't care how numbers 30onwards are doing McPint is in his motorhome tv has shut down up yours

Very valid point there steady the Edward does seem to do a runner off air and play music a bit sharpish after top guys are home even after the senior.

It has slowly been going downhill over the last few years in my opinion. Could do with a bit of an overhaul. Not at all keen on Tim Glover.

Yes they should.  With the start numbers I had - mid 50s - I never got to see the presentations and applaud the winners and finishers.

If I recall, when the late Ronnie Smith won the 750cc class in 2002 he refused to take the podium until every rider was home. That's the sort of respect the organisers should show all the riders.

The contract had run out this year and Treasury insisted it went out to open tender, but as eddy said insurance will be the stumbling block, without it the TT aint going to happen, so its another case of the ACU events running it again.

I think the contract to run the TT is totally separate to the Manx Radio TT issue Spanners, I think the Radio is under the ded remit rather than the ACU Events LTD envelope, but I stand to be corrected as I am not sure

RE: Manx Radio TT
They've never waited for riders to finish before starting the podium, since as far back as I can remember - guess there's such a long wait between the leaders and the tail enders starting at the back of the field that it would leave everyone waiting around for a lot longer than most care to. If they did it like normal races the 'lapped' riders wouldn't get to finish the race, they'd be a whole lap short, so it's not all bad.
