So the TT is on its way out due to all these enforced spectator restrictions
its not the same, "I can't sit in the same spot I've had for 30
years" and on and on it went on the build up to this years event.
I say well bollocks, go and find an even better place than where you
watched last year, can you see restrictions in the background here?
The TT has to adapt end of story, think back to the 26th milestone last
year, yes we had it good for a long time, and it is still good, only
the event CANNOT have another accident like that again, and so changes
had to take place
or end of.
Rant over, carry on!

After a mixed practice week Crowe and Cox come good in both races.
It could have been all so different as only 8 weeks earlier Nick had been
involved in a big off at Mallory Park sustaining a broken colorbone, but
he was still back at work the week after.
Hard men these barrowboys!

Comments: My fave pic of the week as I've wanted to get the tree's fully
back lit like this for years, just captures the flavour of the flat out
into the sun run to Ballacraine on a perfect manx evening.
