Let's not even begin about tarmac events, rain, or dust, you name it.
Bang on mate - I was about to post exactly the same re the 'handicap'..

Must admit I'm surprised so many 'Liked' your post as I thought a lot were against the Championship leader being first on the road for 2 days...

Good to know there's a lot of agreement that it does make sense.
