Chef Raekwon Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 33 minutes ago, Nellie said: I suspect that @hissingsid interpreted this the same as me, that there is an inference in the wording used that she has been barred by the Medical Officer, rather than withdrawing herself. Yeah, but what on earth is odd about that? She may well have wished to continue but the medical protocols in place mean that she can't. Interestingly enough she was on TT live tonight and when asked about it said that she'd been examined, had concussion, had been told she can't ride, and that she totally understood it was serious and was ok with it. Like seriously if people are genuinely finding that statement odd then it's pretty weird. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like seriously if people are genuinely finding that statement odd then it's pretty weird. Some people just like controversy, especially where the TT is concerned. If there isn't any, as is clearly the case here, they'll just make it up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did come across as a bit odd the way it was worded on Twitter as reported by 3FM, mostly because of the delay in reporting, but that interview makes the situation clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 wise decision , same with Hutchy 12 months lay off following heart problem , no point looking for trouble at the speeds there going they need to be pretty fit and mentally alert ,not like the good old days when if you could climb the stairs to the doctors room in the control tower at the top of the grandstand ,you were declared medically fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watermelons are really heavy you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ativa Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Holy crap!! Quickets qualifying time now more than 2mph up on last year. conditions are perfect. Pretty much uninterrupted practice. New roads surfaces and loads of rubber down. It’s the best TT I can remember so far, and hasn’t even properly started yet. There is also some really good food around the place this year both in lookups and local businesses and tending hours and doing special menus. The quality is up and with the exception of £8 for an average cheese burger from the Grill Pit bus I haven’t felt we have overpaid anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic racing pit Cummins is ill, burger prices are similar to what fun fair is charging on board I saw & I assume Bushys will be similar although £3 entry this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Runner Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 An organiser of one of the island’s biggest TT campsites has said that bookings are roughly 35% down on last year. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/tt-2023-numbers-of-campers-down-by-over-a-third-at-ballafletcher-site-618078 Some balance 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look and can’t find a website or Facebook page? Maybe I am looking under the wrong thing but if people don’t know you exist you can’t be surprised if they don’t find you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
