Some major announcements about next year's TT are being made at the Bike Show in Birmingham at lunchtime today.
The Department of Tourism is holding a press conference at which the race programme and festival entertainment will be unveiled.
Throughout the ten day event the public will be able to visit the Isle of Man stand, which this year is in the main hall alongside all the big manufacturers.
TT and motorsport development manager Paul Phillips says the Bike Show at the NEC is an important showcase for the world famous races:
