HSBC splashed out on a party to support Manxman Mark Cavendish in the Olympic cycling road race on Saturday.
The bank invited more than 80 clients and customers to watch the event on a huge screen at Bar George in Douglas, which was decked out with flags and banners wishing the Manx missile good luck.
Although Cav started as favourite for a gold medal, the chance for a podium place slipped away when the GB team failed to rein in a late breakway.
Head of Retail and Wealth Management at HSBC on the Island Ian Bush said despite the disappointing result Saturday's race the day after the opening ceremony, offered a superb opportunity to entertain customers:
Mann Made Festival can get 'bigger and bigger'
Treasury minister 'hopes' businesses will pass on VAT reductions to customers
TT 'massive' for hospitality industry
Hopes summer VAT cuts will ease cost of living pressures for families and businesses
