Entries high for Isle of Man Junior Tour

Entry numbers are high for the Isle of Man International Youth & Junior Tour (April 28-30) and due to the high demand, title sponsors Sleepwell Hotels have allocated a second hotel for the event in order to keep pace with the number of bookings.

Anyone wishing to enter as a team or as an individual who has yet to book is urged to do so as soon as possible as entries close April 9. Special travel & accommodation rates can be viewed on the event's website.

Organisers are hopeful that the 2006 event will attract riders from the continent, with teams based in Holland and Belgium expressing interest in competing. The tour consists of a prologue, a road race held on completely closed roads and a circuit race, with leaders, points jerseys, a large prize fund and trophies on offer.
