Will they just re-write the rules like they did for bikes going the wrong way on the course? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, appealing now, any old Tom, Dick or Harry could turn up. Will they just give them a few flags, first aid kit and bucket of cement dust and send them out? Not sure how these late appeals work, given they're supposed to be properly trained/briefed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't like to guess. The re-writing the rule book thing was on iomtoday yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 i suspect some marshalls are stuck in UK ports hoping a boat will actually be able to bring them here , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Well I just hope they all get some sort of racing in after all the planning and spending a small fortune to get here but the bad weather is making it depressingly difficult this year. The mgp festival needs a couple more days putting back on the meeting. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Who (if anybody) would agree with me that the 5/6 commentators(not sure how many) spread around the course with the sounds and commentators knowledge and insight, and the sound of the machines as they go through is far superior to the three based at grandstand looking at screens and wittering on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Now the appeal is desperate they need 16 for tonight or the show will not go on so obviously no experience needed 🤨 . The latest is no Sunday races they will be held on Monday due to bad forecast, at least it is a Bank Holiday so perhaps not so much inconvenience caused for the people who get to enjoy the day off.
