The BM had no proven track record on the roads until the factory backed MD's team last year and with yamaha I don't know if it's a works backed effort or not. But I for one won't bet against Micheal's chances. I won't be there to see it, I am going to the Manx/Classic TT but I will follow on line live if poss but hopefully on the telly again with the highlights shows. Already cheesed off at not going but hotel prices and availability for four of us was stupidly expensive so had to lose the deposits on the boat have not ruled out coming over as a foot passenger entirely but having done it in the past and suffered with fog delays etc etc etc it's not likely.
