MGP riders "not seriously injured"

Manx Grand Prix organisers say the riders who came off their bikes in incidents during yesterday’s Junior Race weren’t seriously hurt.

Rodney Little came off at Signpost, while Faroe Island rider Terje Joensen  came off his bike at Sulby – both were said to be none the worse for their experiences.

Meanwhile, Dave Taylor and Tom Llewelyn were involved in an incident at Ballaugh Bridge which meant both had to be taken to Nobles Hospital by helicopter.

Dave Taylor sustained minor injuries while Tom Llewelyn suffered a broken arm and leg.

Gabrielle Burne was also taken by Airmed to Nobles with a knee injury after coming off at Guthries.
