Manage episode 435384035 series 3416651
The Clerk of the Course says riders competing on the Mountain Course can be brought back to The Grandstand the wrong way around the circuit in ‘extreme circumstances’.
It happened on Sunday after a red flag in the first qualifying session of the 2024 Manx Grand Prix following an incident which saw the death of rider Louis O’Regan.
The decision led to social media speculation with many referring back to an incident at TT six years ago when racer Steve Mercer was involved in a collision with a course inspection car.
Siobhan Fletcher sat down with Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson before Tuesday's abandoned qualifying session to find out more.
They talk GPS trackers, safety measures, weather and contingency planning.
