Yeah, brilliant. It's bringing a vast variety of people to Rotorua - riders, supporters, media and families, and it's great for local riders to be exposed to a high level of competition. I'm taking a few days off to enjoy the festivities.

I haven't been to one, so I wouldn't really know. But, it does bring a lot of people into town. Whether ratepayers should be throwing money at it is a different question.

Yes I do. Because it brings a lot of business into town and gives people an event to look forward to.

I went last year and it was fantastic. The family pass was affordable and the kids had a great time. Well worth it.

Anything like that is good for Rotorua and Rotorua is a tourism town so we do need it.
