If that’s not happening then it’s a disgrace. Would the Head of Motorsport care to comment?

I think it has, in respect of the advertent and inadvertent pressures, to include the overtly financial. That includes the ever-increasing speeds required to remain competitive at all levels in the start fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the behind the scenes and not behind the scenes talks this year it doesn't sound like any of the teams are putting any pressure on their riders for finishing positions. Many of the riders have stressed the opposite, actually... Agree on the course speeds though. Time for lower CC classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Surely if the riders are insured the families should not have to rely on go fund me hand outs. Apparently anyone can open a go fund me page for anything the family may not have been instrumental in this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance probably won't cover such things - this isn't for medical care (which would be paid for the Manx NHS anyway) but for supporting the family to visit, both travel and accommodation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether insurance would cover that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each competitor must have a certain level of insurance inplace.

I’ve always disliked the way deaths are handled at the TT/MGP, where is the updates on the injured riders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
