[Warren Ellwood]

Just confirming no TT for Martin this year.

I tend to agree with McGuinness, not because I can or want to ride the TT but because 2745 miles is a friggen long way on a bike one has to pedal.

Now who said cricketers come up with the best sledging  .

There is only one John McGuiness.  I almost p'd myself when during the official after race press conference (Senior TT) he was asked if he had any problems.  He replied that all was reasonably well, but then his undies moved and his penis got chaffed by his leathers which was rather uncomfortable!

Neither do I.
You need to be somewhat crazy to do the TT and other roadraces.
Rossi is not crazy enough.

Its not like a circuit, you need to learn the course which is long, it can take years...

Agreed.
Add to that the fact that you have changing conditions al over the course,so your bike setup is almost always a compromise. Unlike MotoGP.

Not anymore,  I don't think,  but who am I to argue with Guy Martin?

Don't think you can start doing TT at 30+ in any case?
You need young gnads to start off with and then grow them on the roads.
But I know nothing.

Agreed about having the nads. Maybe in my next life.

Akin to comparing a brilliant cage fighter to a brilliant boxer....... Can't be done.

You can start the TT at 30+.   It is one of the very few races in the world where organisers actually support the participation of noobs, oldies, ladies, etc.  The TT even have rookie practise time and training as well.  

In fact, there is, from true TT perspective only a winner and finishers.

Silvrav is referring to the Sabie 105 TT.  The idea is to do a Isle of Man type race from Sabie to Graskop to Hazyview to Sabie.

The TT has traditionally always been won by "MotoGP" riders, until it got removed from the international GP circuit.

Rossi has more riding skill than any TT rider, the difference lies in the head. A MotoGP rider sees a vast and safe run-off area, the TT rider has to imagine he sees that.



The question is how will TT riders do in MotoGP? Not well I am afraid.
