every other race in the world is mass start and outright race between riders the tt as you will be aware is run to the time keepers clock so that is why if run in rider numerical order people would know who is doing what if rider 21 is infront of rider 18 hes made up 30 secs simples aint it

Not necessarily so it could be that 20 has retired and 18 and 19 have been having problems and 21 is only riding to his expected times and has gained nothing on the timesheet and has gained nothing on bikes 16 and 17 in fact because he has been held up he is losing ground on 16 and 17   , meanwhile you think you know whats going on , sorry but the reality is you only think you know you don't really know , and seeing as how you missed the rider number changes 21 isn't who you thought it was , he is number 35 , so you know even less than you thought you did , 

so to me either stick with what we have , or stick to the seeding numbers and if they have got it wrong so what according to you lot there is no problem having  riders do a bit of overtaking just tell that held up rider to man up and get on with it , you knew it was going to be dangerous if you can't stand the heat get out of the fire , you wanted danger well you have got a bit of extra
