TT winner Ryan Farquhar says he's looking forward to tackling the challenge of the mountain course again.
The Northern Ireland rider has been on the Grandstand podium ten times during his career, including two victories, and two second places last year.
He says he enjoys being his own man and trying to beat the teams with bigger budgets:
Cycling: Lizzie Holden completes final race of pro cycling career
Manx rider confirmed plans to retire earlier this week
Football: Leading premier league trio all take victories
Colby beat Pulrose to go top of Division 2
Rugby: Douglas and Vagabonds Ladies claim victories
Still no joy for Vagabonds and Ramsey in Counties 3 ADM Lancs/Cheshire
Hockey: Bacchas A beat rivals in opening round of Mixed Cup
First rounds of three competitions took place on Saturday (19 Oct)
