No, but they have always had one rider. I think the others I mentioned would do a better job, that is if Archie does not resign.

At the moment it looks as though Bruce Anstey will be with us again but obviously we have to think about which rider will back him up and we will be interested in negotiating."

I think from the post TAS plans do not include archie for 2007 :?

Hey guy's like i said before, bruce will be signing with TAS again for next year, as for a team mate not even he knows yet!!

I think you could be right Racer girl i supose i and many others probably presumed Archie would be with Tas unless he decided otherwise but Philip Neill's comments sound as if Archie may not even be in the equation. It would be a crying shame if one bad year left him without a ride for 2007. 2 tt wins in 2003 when tas could have packed up and went home. 1 win in 2004, leading production race by 10 + seconds in 2005 and mysteriously Anstey won when his bike was fuelled correctly and archie,s run out !!! Then a puncture forced him out of Senior race. This guy has got a lot of bad luck on his side too. If his spirits were dampened this year already wot would he think if he read that comment from Neill but the again Jimmy Walker did write it and he hasn't been known to be the most accurate.

I think philip would love to have archie back, and so would bruce as his team mate, as for jimmy walker you cant always trust what he prints, if he cant get hold of you for an interview, he will just make it up!!!

Hope Archie gets a TAS ride for next year. Anstey and Archie starting the 100th TT surley most be great marketing opportunity for any works outfit!!!!

Is Farquhar definately leaving the TAS outfit :?:

Committment and ability come in varying guises with different individuals. Some quietly go about their business and produce the goods...others are more open and honest about their work. Shaun Harris falls into the category of the latter..... He obviously has the ability and his committment these days is plain to see - a unique combination...if TAS are really looking for a team mate for Anstey who will provide them with a formidable assault on the mountain in 2007, then they need look no further than Mr Harris....it's only my opinion but I reckon the vibes coming from this guy at the minute are total... he is well up for it 8)

I can assure you if harris was to get the ride bruce would walk!!!

hock: hock: hock: That'll be that then! hock: hock: hock:

:oops: think so!!! :wink:
