Rob had a big off at brands at the weekend. Wasn't sure on the extent of his injuries but I was lead to believe they weren't too serious but must have damaged something if he can't compete on the Island.
If I'm honest it maybe ain't a bad thing!!! Poor Rob never seems to have a small crash does he!
It costs a lot of money to go to the TT, more than any other road race. I would rather see a full grid of awesone riders for that outlay. And I would include Rob Frost in that. I see the Northwest have 120 entries for the superbike races and with a field of better riders. In terms of a value for money experience there is no competition.
finally had to bite at the "no offence" remark as it does cause offence! Unfortunately not all of us can be factory backed riders,we work just to race. so alas, we may not be the "awesome" riders you wish to see out there. but one thing i can guarantee is that the view i will be getting will be "bloody awesome" we will all be trying our best so please support the lower end of the field as well.
Safe TT to all competitors and spectators alike.
Mick you would not be on the list of people i was talking about. Whether People like it or not there is a certain class or level of rider that should not be racing in the TT.
Now my point was simply this;
I would rather watch the top ten, than watch the racing had the organisers just let anyone in.
The people who have been accepted to race at the TT must of met a certain criteria, I do not know what that is but fair play if you have met it.
On the other hand there are riders who have not met that criteria and not got an entry and rightly so.
Factory backed riders get there only because they are skilled and dedicated. John Mac,Guy Martin and Steve Plater were never just handed good bikes.
I want to see new riders, experienced riders and the best riders getting better each year, and as long as everyone goes home safe then im happy. It takes more than the best to make a race but those behind the front runners should always be getting better.
