Talk:Manx Trophy

Latest comment: 12 years ago by Ddcyclist

Doesn't this article confuse two races? My memory is that it was the Manx International that went three times round the mountain circuit. When I watched the pro race in the 1960s, it was over a smaller circuit which didn't take in the mountain. I can check and make any changes if necessary but does anyone have comments? - Les woodland 19:49, 14 October 2007 (UTC)les woodlandReply

It is possible that I've confused two races in the work that I've done here. Your assistance would be very welcome. Thanks. --Elwood90 (talk) 11:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
