| Star Riders Left Without MGP Rides
|
 |
Local sponsor, John Turner, has withdrawn the two
machines he owns, from this years Manx Grand Prix
Races, leaving his two riders, Barry Wood and Jason
Griffiths, without rides.
Turner sights the in decision on the possibility of
the Manx Grand Prix going ahead, as the reason for
withdrawing of his machines which placed seventh in
the Classic Senior with Barry, and first in the
Classic Junior with Jason, last time out.
There is no hard feelings between Turner and his two
riders, both of which are fully behind his decision
and are free to ride alternative machinery should it
become available.

Barry Wood, himself a double Manx winner said 'I don't
blame him-in fact I fully agree with him!'
'Who wants to spend thousands of pounds and put in
scores of hours of work only to be told at the last
minute," sorry lads, its all off"?'
'I've already played this waiting game with the TT'.
Turners decision is a real blow to the event should it
go ahead, although it is understandable at the same
time. We must keep everything crossed now, in a hope
that this popular event does not become the latest
victim of this awful epidemic.
