There will be no charge for seats in the grandstand for the Manx Grand Prix for the rest of the week.

Roads around the TT course today will currently close from 11.30am with the Newcomers races kicking things off from 12.15pm.

Following that, qualifying for the Senior and Junior MGP is expected to start at 2.45pm, before qualifying for the Lightweight and Ultralightweight classes from 3.30pm.
