    Great news - I knew Ducati as a V4 would be an option for somebody at the TT. Look how quick it went in the hands of Michael Rutter, which was a completely stock bike if I remember rightly.

    And Michael Dunlop to ride it !

    It will be awesome watching that thing thundering round the TT - imagine if they win with it !

    I thought Michael Dunlop was going to do a deal for the new Fireblade, but Ducati - watch out BMW !

    Does Hutchy have a ride yet? Is he fit for this year?

    I'm looking forward to seeing what Hillier can do on the BMW.

    Or get quarantined there - I have a prepared a sick note in case anyone should need it:

    Dear boss,

    I will have to stay on the Isle of Man for another two weeks due to the Corona Lurgi - terrible shame I know, but at least its not a cruise ship and I can ride my bike. Also, no one has run out of chips, beer or petrol yet - so all is well.

    See you in July sometime (and keep paying my wages is like normal)

    Thanks
    Employee 998

    :D
