Event director describes scale of Island sport as 'remarkable'
The 'phenomenal' sporting culture on Island plays a part in improving health and the economy.
That's the belief of the event director for Gran Fondo Isle of Man which is returning in July this year.
It's previously been a big attraction for both on and off-Island participants.
