Manx GP cancelled

The organisers of the Manx GP have announced that it must go the same way as the TT.

The Manx Motorcycle Club said today (July 3) that the event, due to be held on August 18-31, had to be cancelled in the face of the continued threat of Foot and Mouth disease.

Members of the Isle of Man’s Council of Ministers have been informed and chief minister Donald Gelling, said: ” We appreciate that this was a difficult decision for the race organisers, taken after full consultation and advice.

” I’m sure we all look forward to next year being a full season of racing on the Isle of Man and that this dreadful disease will have been eradicated in the UK. ”

We’ll bring you more details as we get them.
