By Welcome back the Manx GP Top 6 series! Our revamped series begins this morning with ‘The Sheriff’ William Grant.
Ninth within this year’s Senior MGP, his answers to the Mountain Course themed set of questions, are as follows:
Q1: When you first competed at the Manx, what was your first initial thought of the Mountain Course?
“Wow, it’s just like the game but bumpier.”
Q2: Most memorable Manx GP bike?
“Fran’s (Cowton) 600 Kawasaki was special to ride as it was my first time racing a 600. In terms of bikes that other people have ridden that I think are special, the Wiz Norton is mega.”
Q3: Most treasured memory from the Manx?
“Coming ninth in the Senior was a shock to myself and everyone. I think-that was the first time people thought, oh Will can ride!”
Q4: Is there one specific Manx GP competitor that you look up to?
“Grant Thomson, as he really impressed as a newcomer in 2025, he will be a force in 2027.”
Q5: Describe the Manx GP in one word?
“Bonkers”
Q6: Finally, if you could race one machine from any series, championship around the Mountain Course, what would it be?
“Full blown Honda Superbike.”
