    it would be also interesting to see Karl Harris on Mountain Course, he's nor listed above as he will be a newcommer, but good to know that BSB stars are comming over. This will be his first attempt to racing on iom, he did not any manx etc races before.

    Hope it's only said in jest but I think it's death or glory for guy this year - if he don't win soon I think he's going to bust himself up trying, which is why we all love him.

    Isn't it a bit of a gentlemans agreement where the riders decide who goes where?

    I know how you feel Jimbo. I'm alway afraid he's going to hurt himself. And I'm always afraid Dunlop's going to Hurt somebody else.

    With micheal it's as if he has so much to live up too it's as though he's reckless and is prepared to win at any cost - he's the one guy I'd fear the most to race against if I were there. He will go out in all conditions as if to prove he's not scared...

    With guy, I think he's smarter and clearly not his only pay cheaque, but think he is desperate for a win which means he might take it that little bit past the comfort zone... Hope he does pull one off though.

    As far as i can remember the top guys have traditionally requested a
    start number,others are not bothered so it's fallen into place like that.
