2021 Isle of Man TT Cancelled

[Ray]

Huh. I suppose if anyone knows about risk it's those associated with the time trial. I guess a really good outbreak could cause more volunteer and spectator deaths in one year than the 151 lives claimed by the Snaefel Mountain course over the last 113 y.

Your comment brings to mind will the race survive now that those who have for years made efforts to shut it down have found a reason. Attending the race is on my list of things to do before checking out of this sport. Oh well, won’t get everything off the list but it is getting shorter.

Also on my list..., since age 14. The problem has always been the choice between more riding time this side of the Atlantic, or taking time for air travel and hassling with rent-a-bikes.

You've met some of the hard core personalities associated with the sport in the UK. Though I've been wrong before, I see a bigger than ever TT for 2022. The shutdown will only come if the best riders and teams refuse to participate and the fans refuse to make the pilgrimage and spend their money.
