Roads to stay open today with no MGP contingency session

Tuesday, 26 August 2025 07:19

Roads will remain open today as Manx Grand Prix organisers confirm a contingency session will not be used.

It comes after the Lightweight Classic TT race was brought forward from Wednesday to yesterday, Monday, August 25, due to better weather conditions.

Monday’s Classic TT programme then went on to be cancelled after one lap because of a red flag incident - with Andy Whale coming off at Glen Helen.

Organisers say with the weather for the days ahead looking unsettled, an update on Wednesday’s schedule will be provided by midday today, Tuesday, August 26.
