A popular end-of-year cycling road race on the Isle of Man is scheduled to take place today (28 December).

The Bikestyle Hamper race will feature five laps on what's known as the 'Jurby Summerhill' circuit in the north of the Island.

In previous years, major names in the sport from the Island have taken part including Sir Mark Cavendish, Lizzie Holden, Peter Kennaugh, Becky Storrie and more.

The race - which will take place on a handicap format - is due to get underway from 11am.

Entries have already closed.
