Yeah, cancelling sidecar altogether is huge. Unprecedented. Some of these teams only race one race every year - the TT. They all build their own "rig", none of them make a living at this, and they all have a significant amount of time and money invested. Beyond that is just a love of the TT, no one is in it for the money - there isn't any. These people live for the TT.
Tom Birchall is one of the announcers this year. With his brother Ben, they dominated sidecar for years (they won the year my son and I were there). Ben still races, with a new partner, and is there this year. I'll be watching the daily roundup this evening. I'm eager to hear what Tom has to say.
