    Johns proven himself and a proper legend.... if you've ever seen him ride at IOM he's shown when on form how to ride that course like no other..... but age and fatigue catches up with most, the last accident might have been a warning to hang up his leathers and milk the glory in history, that course can be so unforgiving when you get it wrong.
    Wish him the very best of luck with those rides but cant see him coming close if I'm honest.

    Will be very interesting. I have a different view, Rob.
    I feel he will have competitive equipment - perhaps even with a bit of an edge. In his own mind he won't be out there to come second, so I think he's still capable of winning and probably will. His depth of experience might make up any shortfall caused by recent injuries.
