Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix cancelled Health and wellbeing of Manx residents comes first, says Enterprise Minister
This year s Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix have been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly says the decision comes following extensive consultation with those involved in the races.
In a statement, Mr Skelly says priority has to be given to the health and wellbeing of Manx residents, along with the need to protect the health service.
He adds: Despite the undoubted progress that the Isle of Man and the UK are making in rolling out its vaccination programme, the central issue of the availability of sufficient marshals, medics and other race officials to run the event safely and effectively remains.
