The organisers are able to make allowances for riders and I'm reasonably certain they have in the past.  I'd expect that by the time he gets to Mona's Isle Guy will have done more laps of Castle Coomb at race speed than most club racers will do in a full season.

I'd be 100% certain that this discussion has already happened between Honda and the CoC and agreement has been reached.  Personally I can't see what the issue is (just smacks of bitterness tbh) why not make a reasoned assessment?

Likewise I've never understood peoples problem with the mountain course license.  Its generally acknowledged that the mountain course is among the most dangerous in the world.  Why is it unreasonable to expect entrants to have recent experience of riding their machines at racing speed?  They aren't just risking their own necks after all.

The big question for me is more - should he race if the bike has the potential to throw him off without notice?  I can't imagine Honda being prepared to withdraw - so it'll be a big call for someone.
