Omobono Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 its been a tough MGP but thankfully got the races finished and with the riding skill of Michael Dunlop at record speed , well done to everyone involved in the organisation of the event and the 100's of volunteers who make the races possible , in spite of the damp weather 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Wasn’t the name changed to The Festival of Motorcycling or something? Didn’t think the MGP ran anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGP reaces are still going - alongside the Classic TT. The two together make up the Festival of Motorcycling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 In contrast to arguably the best TT ever, was that the worst MGP ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
