Sorry, but true.

Certainly didn't notice that at Ruapuna, were you actually there?

I was there and Ruapuna raised its support for all the classes. It was a great weekends racing for all!

There is always plenty of crowd interest in all the TT titles for all classes, clearly you were misinformed ........

Yes exactly that. I for one will be questioning Mr Stewart as to who decided to only put the 600's and superbikes on. Maybe we need a version of the MNZ dictionary? Quite possible "all classes" means only 600's and supers?

Obviously you need a new source then as yours is giving you incorrect information

So far there has been one screening on TV1? Lets just wait, usually Sky and Prime more indepth coverage and may well show more of the complete package.
Personally I'd like to see the return of prize money especially to some of the smaller classes.

what this guy said

Well What is real Shitty is I was told prize money has been taken away from all classes to cover the media costs..

AND

They were saying that theres only a few young guys any good,

Well Stuff me Look in the 125 Field at The likes of young Cam Jones he dominating and he showing some skill,

A 125 requires skill to ride fast and to that guy making the comments before I hope you were joking saying that the other classes are slow cause I prefer to differ...........
