No additional healthcare staff brought in for Southern 100

Last night's practice had to be cut short due to capacity issues at Noble's Hospital

Capacity issues at Noble's Hospital meant last night's Southern 100 qualifying session had to be cut short.

Manx Care's board papers for today's meeting confirm the healthcare provider had put in preparations for during the Southern 100 period, but no additional staff have been drafted in.

Two riders were taken to hospital following an incident at Ballakeighan during the newcomers sighting laps.

Shortly after, race organisers announced the restart was delayed because of the capacity at the hospital, before cancelling the rest of the evening's schedule.
