The newly appointed TT Clerk of the Course has told Manx Radio the change was made for a number of reasons.
It was announced this morning Eddie Nelson had been replaced by the General Secretary of the ACU, Gary Thompson.
Speaking to Manx Radio the former army officer said some of Mr Nelson's comments at TT2011 had been unfortunate:

Athletics: Top-five for Cain at Swansea Half Marathon
Jamie Cringle 'a couple of steps closer in the right direction' after TT crash
Football: Castletown and 'Youthie' into Paul Henry Gold Cup final
Jade Burden 'so fired up' for rearranged title fight
