I disagree. Because the circuit is not run by GP anymore, it's only run by racers that eat, breathe, and sleep IOM.

In the days it was a GP circuit, it was one of many courses on the schedule. To the people racing it now, it's the only course. I'd be willing to bet they get around it better than any GP rider that toyed with the course for a few days per year.

I would also bet that those IOM racers would not be anywhere as good as Rossi on a MotoGP track. But Rossi is still not as good, because he never raced IOM.
