   I gather Mike B. is still under the illusion there is any will to organise an international event next year. He has been on to Bentwaters, fortunately no luck, and looking at Fowlmead. No sprint course. He thinks there is some agreemant to do this. I have told him about this discussion. He said Alan G and Richard B seemed to be in accord with it. He suggested it in 2008. Lee heard and made the wrong assumption it was a done deal.

Mike has certain similarities to an oil tanker (he would hate the comaprison). Once started in one direction, he takes a lot of prods to change course.  From experience at Brighton, Mike isn't great at doing organisation. Unless you want to do it yourself, be clear and dissuade him. 

It isn't our turn. We only do these things when we owe the hospitality. Denmark does not seem to be active at present. Germany had a big event out of the cycle, so France looks like the most likely victim. There will probably be a Cyclevison even if nothing else runs. I have not heard about this year yet but the new course sounds great.

I was chatting with some of the Netherlands crew at Monza. It seems they are worried. The core of organisers has dropped to 30. If we ever have another event I suggest we ask them to run Cyclevision over here.
