15-time T.T. winner John McGuinness and a host of other top-name riders are on the island for today's official T.T. 2010 press day.

Television, radio, magazines and photographers will have a busy schedule as they talk to the stars for articles ahead of the event.

The Royal Hall at the Villa Marina is this evening's venue for the public launch with many announcements expected - including more details on entertainment during the fortnight.

John McGuinness says he enjoys being involved with anything to do with the T.T.:-

The launch at the Villa Marina starts at seven o'clock and is free. This evening's Friday Sport programme at six o'clock comes live from the venue, and Manx Radio will have live coverage of the event itself in the Evening Extra programme with Bob Harrison from 6.30pm.
