Well I have been speaking to several riders this year, at the Southern and Skerries, who are treating this year's Manx as their last. They are either reading the signs that no further meetings are going to be held, due mainly to the financial aspects i.e. no profit being made on it! or simply because they know that they won't be able to get the required 6 meetings in for next year! Everyone is very sorry to come to this conclusion but all seem to think that they have no choice.
