Classic TT
Canceled
T
he 2020 Classic TT at the Isle
of Man is the latest motorcycle
event to be canceled, joining the
regular TT as a casualty of Covid-19.
The Classic TT was sched-
uled for August 22-September 4,
running in conjunction with the
Manx Grand Prix, with Laurence
Skelly MHK, Minister for Enter-
prise, saying, "This is obviously a
conclusion that we didn't want to
reach but unfortunately when all
the factors and advice are consid-
ered, we felt that it was important
to make an early decision to pro-
vide clarity and certainty to race
officials, fans and sponsors, as
well as competitors themselves.
Although we cannot predict at this
stage exactly what the Island's or
the global position will be in four
months' time, there is sufficient
uncertainty and therefore mak-
ing an early decision is the only
responsible thing to do.
"We also want to reassure the
Island's residents that their health
and wellbeing remains our number-
one priority and focus in this ongo-
ing situation and furthermore it isn't
appropriate to potentially place
additional demands onto our hard-
working hospital and medical staff
by running the events this year." CN
