MGP racing due to go ahead as scheduled

Today's Manx Grand Prix racing is due to go ahead as scheduled.

Clerk of the Course Phil Taubman has confirmed that everything is due to go to plan with roads closing at 9.30am.

The Met Office says the mist on the Mountain is due to lift and that the rain has stopped so the course is drying out.

The first race today - the four lap Classic MGP - is due to start at 10.15am with the SuperTwin and Lightweight Race due to take place at 1.15pm.

If there are delays today and the racing runs into the evening the roads will open from 5pm to 6pm to allow motorists access to the course.
