There have been no statements on recommendations Harvey, rather, only statements of consideration.

As per the Newspaper yesterday:-

MOUNTAIN CIRCUIT SAFETY UNDER REVIEW

THE safety of racing on the Mountain Circuit is under review after a double tragedy.

Coroner Michael Moyle this week recorded an open verdict into the death of Gus Scott, 40, of Cumbria, in the Senior TT.

Mr Moyle hit out at the 'chaos' which followed the accident, which saw an untrained man don a marshal's bib in an attempt to prevent further tragedy and three spectators step onto the course to drag Mr Scott's bike out of the path of oncoming racers.

Flagging was also criticised at the probe into the deaths on Monday.

Clerk of the course Neil Hanson said: 'We will be studying the coroner's comments carefully and any changes that can be made in the interests of safety for riders, marshals and spectators will be carefully considered.

'There is a very comprehensive review of the whole organisation going on.'

Chairman of the TT Marshals' Association Roger Hurst said training would be re-examined after it was revealed marshals go on duty after watching a 25-minute computer presentation and reading a handbook.
