Despite the assurance given to the media, by Tim Crookall MHK, that the Isle of Man road racing events would be unaffected the insurance problem facing the MCUI; the doubters continue to post apocalyptic claims on social media. To once and for all clear any lingering doubts I sought to obtain cast iron evidence from the organizers that the necessary insurance policy was already in place.

Through the good offices of the then Enterprise Minister, Lawrie Hooper MHK; Paul Phillips and the Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson MBE, BEM I have been able to have sight of the policy that covers all events under the jurisdiction of the ACU. This policy runs from 31.12.2022 until 31.12. 2023. I will not disclose the amount of cover provided; but will say only that I consider to be adequate for the purpose for which it is intended.

All else being equal these events will go ahead as scheduled; come and see the greatest sporting events on earth.
