TT listed among top summer sporting events
The Isle of Man TT has been named one of the top events in this summer’s sporting calendar.
The Daily Telegraph place the 2009 TT at number one in its list of the top 10 sporting events, compiled by Charles Starmer-Smith.
The TT, which starts on May 30th, was joined on the list by other major sporting events, including Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, The Open and The Ashes.
The Daily Telegraph article said:
‘The finest riders will converge on this small island in the Irish Sea for what is still the greatest road race festival in the world – the 38-mile undulating mountain course, run on regular roads, is motor racing at its most raw and dangerous.’
A spokesman for the Isle of Man Government described the inclusion of the TT on the list of the summer’s top 10 sporting events as ‘excellent’.
