There are some strong entrants for all the classes, especially for the Senior, Junior, and Lightweight Classic races will see a number of previous winners making their return to the event. 2009’s decision to involve events for Post Classic bikes has proven to be a wise move as there has been a notable increase in the quality and quantity as well in 2010.
The strongest entry of any of the races in 2010 is in the Senior Post Classic class, since it will include five Suzuki XR69 997cc bikes, with three of theses machines being ridden by Ryan Farquhar and Michael Dunlop and Guy Martin, who is very popular with the fans. These three racers are also TT winners, Ryan took the inaugural event in 2009 under tough conditions and is thought to be one of the pre-race favourites, while Guy is anticipated to challenge dependent upon his recovery from injuries sustained in the TT event. Michael is probably the most highly anticipated racer, considering the performance he gave at the 2010 TT; he very well may be the one who takes the race.
As the Manx Grand Prix gets underway, these three racers may be the ones for the fans to keep their eyes upon.
