The far-reaching impact of cancelling motorcycling's greatest race

By:

The coronavirus-induced cancellation of the Isle of Man TT was unavoidable, but as thoughts turn to its return in 2021, the ramifications could be felt for a long time yet

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a merciless spectre of death which has enveloped the world, with the number of confirmed infections racing past the one million mark and showing no signs of slowing down, while deaths have surpassed 50,000.

As world governments throw their countries into lockdown, enforce strict social-distancing measures to quell the spread and ease the immense strain exacted on health care systems, the world of sport has been derailed as event after event is either postponed or cancelled.
