Gran Fondo gets into gear for tomorrow

Around 600 cyclists will take to highways across the Island for the Gran Fondo event tomorrow.

The feature race of the occasion will see competitors take on an 85-mile route across closed roads along with some technical and rough terrain.

There are also three supporting races taking place too, include the 40-mile Medio, the 20-mile Piccolo and the family-friendly Minisculo course.

Riders from across the world are expected to take part again including from places like the USA, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Details of road closures during the day - which will affect certain highways - have been made available on the Gran Fondo IOM website.
