Island Games medallist Tyler Hannay was the winner of the rearranged Bikestyle Hamper Race last weekend.

The Manx Viking Wheelers-organised event was postponed at the end of December because of icy conditions around the northern course.

The five-lap event got underway from Jurby Parish Hall on Sunday morning and took in the regular Jurby/Sandygate road course.

Hannay, who won no fewer than six medals at last year’s Games in Orkney, eased to a comfortable victory, crossing the line a fraction over 55 seconds ahead of runner-up Michael Moss who edged ahead of namesake Michael Faid in a dash for the line.

Speaking afterwards, Hannay commented: ‘Great to start the 2026 season with a win at today’s Hamper Race. Tough Manx conditions made it a hard hour, but pleased with my own performance.

‘Really happy to have felt myself again after a rough 2025 period both mentally and physically. A big thank you to my friends and especially family who were always there by my side.

‘Also a big thank you to the Manx Viking Wheelers Cycle Club, Gianni Epifani and his team and the marshals for making this stuff possible.’
