A memorial lap of the TT course to celebrate TT racer Dan Kneen will still go ahead despite roadworks in Ramsey, organisers have said.

Organiser Darren Challis said the plan was to follow the diversion and avoid the work at Lezayre Road and Bircham Avenue.

A bus will also provide places on the lap for 72 passengers without transport.

Bikes will follow the official alternative route which leaves the TT course at the end of the Sulby straight and rejoins it at Parliament Square in Ramsey.

The lap, to remember Dan, who died in a practice accident this year, starts out from the TT grandstand in Douglas on Saturday June 16 at 11am.
