Wayne Axon; aka Ciderman, and local rider Chris Moffitt are in a serious condition following accidents in yesterday’s aborted Junior Manx Grand Prix. Axon crashed at Creg ny Baa on the first lap of the race; whilst Moffitt crashed out at Ballacrye on the second lap. It was Moffitt’s accident that necessitated the use of the red flag. We hope that both riders will make a full recovery from their injuries.

Monday is scheduled to have six races; all of reduced distance; in the case of the Classic Junior; just one lap of 37.73 miles of the Mountain Course. Repeating an all too familiar theme; the weather forecast suggest that there will be a delay to the start of proceedings.
