TT stars supporting MGP

With practice for the Manx Grand Prix starting next Saturday evening, organisers have announced a strong line-up of riders for the fortnight.

Many TT stars are competing in the classic bike events - the entry list shows Ryan Farquhar, Guy Martin, Michael Dunlop, Mark Parrett, Davy Morgan and Ollie Linsdell are set to mix it with the usual classic field.

44 newcomers will experience the Mountain Course for the first time.

Roads around the TT Course will close at six o'clock on Saturday evening for the opening practice session.
