Manx Grand Prix: Nathan Harrison makes Mountain Course comeback

Rider Nathan Harrison has said his return to the Mountain Course for the Manx Grand Prix has made a tough year "better".

The Manxman had to withdraw from this year's TT races in June after breaking his collarbone in a crash at the North West 200.

That was followed by the death of his mother from cancer, which he said "was like a double blow for me".

But having recovered from his injuries, the 25-year-old said he was now ready to do "exactly what my mum would want and that’s get back racing bikes".
