Large crowds are expected at vantage points around the mountain course for the first full day of racing at the Manx Grand Prix today (Monday).

First up, at 10.15am, it's the 350/250 Classic, featuring experienced competitors such as Roy Richardson, Ryan Farquhar, Castletown's Chris Palmer and Peel's Chris McGahan.

That's followed by the Junior race, at 1.15pm, in which Sulby's Dan Sayle will be looking for a strong performance.

Both races are over four laps.

There will be live commentary on Manx Radio's AM 1368 service from 9.45am, which is quarter of an hour after the roads around the course are due to close.

Charlie Lambert will be at the grandstand, with Dave Christian at Glen Helen, Roy Moore at Ramsey Hairpin, Chris Kinley in the pitlane, and Tim Glover hosting the press conferences.
