The 2025 Isle of Man TT Races are imminent and once again Clerk of the TT Course Gary Thompson remains at the forefront of making sure the racing fortnight runs as safely and smoothly as possible.

He's now entering his 13th year of overseeing the meeting and looking after all matters relating to the Snaefell Mountain Course.

Manx Radio recently spoke with Mr Thompson to discuss in detail the running of the event; his relationship with riders, volunteers, visitors and residents, and what he makes of being in the spotlight for the calls he makes.
