Two world wars and the big foot & mouth outbreak are the only other times it was abandoned.

No, it'll have more seniority, being a year older.


Anyway, the clash aren't booked for the TT, they're playing the Bulldog next year.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

And nobody in the whole commentary mentioned how much the Lightweights actually weighed.

Ti, carbon, argon in the tyres, no bulb in the headlight, it must have made a bit of difference, surely?
