The cancellation of next month's Rally Isle of Man will cost the Manx hotel industry a six-figure sum.
That's the view of Douglas hotelier Dave Mackey, whose own business - the Ascot - is set for a hit of between £5,000 and £6,000 in lost bookings.
He says the whole situation is very disappointing, and many questions need to be answered:
TT 2026: Further two-hour delay confirmed
Conditions around the course 'need to improve sufficiently'
Mountain Road closed 'with immediate effect'
'Due to current significant pressures on emergency services'
TT 2026: Organisers provide updates on rider conditions
Three riders 'conscious and stable' following Friday incidents
Drivers left confused as Telecabs seemingly ceases trading overnight
"This announcement has come out of the blue"
