Former rider gives his view
The shorter schedule implemented for this year's Manx Grand Prix has been described as 'catastrophic' by one former rider.
But organisers say the event would require more guaranteed marshal and medical cover if it hopes to expand again in future.
This year's nine-day programme has sparked controversy once again this year.
One person who wasn't a fan is former MGP rider Richard, who called up Manx Radio's Mannin Line programme earlier this week to give his view:
Sportbike MGP seeded riders announced
Andrew Farrell to lead out class at this year's event
Jamie Cringle transferred back to UK for further treatment
Rider confirms back infection after initially being discharged from Noble's
Jamie Coward confirms withdrawal from Southern 100
Rider had been due to take on all solo classes next week
2026 Manx Grand Prix & Classic TT schedule unveiled
Twelve days of racing action due to take place next month
