Former rider gives his view
The shorter schedule implemented for this year's Manx Grand Prix has been described as 'catastrophic' by one former rider.
But organisers say the event would require more guaranteed marshal and medical cover if it hopes to expand again in future.
This year's nine-day programme has sparked controversy once again this year.
One person who wasn't a fan is former MGP rider Richard, who called up Manx Radio's Mannin Line programme earlier this week to give his view:
