Manx International Cycling

The opening event of the 2023 Road season is upon us, so get your entries in now!

That's a wrap on the Manx Telecom International for 2022. The weather didn't show up with its best this weekend, but it certainly added an extra element to the racing on Saturday/Sunday 🌦️🌦️

We want to say a huge thank you again to all of the volunteers. It simply wouldn't be possibly to run an event like this without you ❤️

Hayley Preen (Torelli Cayman Islands Scimitar) took the overall GC with a win on yesterday's queen stage. She becomes the first winner of the Women's event in its stage race format!

In the Men's, after 2 stage wins and a 2nd yesterday, Matt Bostock (WiV SunGod) became only the 2nd local rider to win the Manx International in its long history, with dominate performance all weekend 🇮🇲

Congratulations to Matt and Hayley on their rides and well done to all the riders, across both races for making it an exiting weekend!

STAGE 3 REVEAL - SAT 23RD JULY - INDIVIDUAL TT - JURBY ROAD

Another new stage for 2022, stage 3 is a 10 mile individual TT on Jurby Road. The course is regularly used by the local cycling community, so the Pro's will be taking on a well known out and back time trial.

ROAD CLOSURE: 13:15 – 17:00 (Latest)
Race Start: Women and Men 13:30

This stage is an out and back, 5-mile stretch of Jurby Road, from the entrance of Mountain View Innovation Centre, (MVIC), to a u-turn just south of the Ballavarran Road. The Race HQ and all parking will be off-road, within the MVIC campus. Having the start point outside of the town and the use of both directions of the closed road, means that disruption for residents is reduced to an absolute minimum, with only a small number of residences affected for a period of 3’30” on Saturday afternoon. The main population areas of Ramsey, Jurby, Andreas and Bride are avoided and will be accessible throughout the event. The road closure points will commence at the entrance to the MVIC site on Jurby Road and run to a point on approximately 500m south of the Ballavarran T-junction.
