REIGNING FONDO CHAMP LAWLESS A LATE ENTRY FOR 2023 EVENT

Winner of last years Gran Fondo Isle of Man powered by Santander International, Chris Lawless, is a late addition to the entry list for this years event.

The Lotto–Dstny Development Team rider and former Tour de Yorkshire winner will start the 85-mile race on Sunday, hoping to retain the crown he won twelve months ago.

The 27-year-old former Team Sky World Tour Pro has made the Isle of Man his home and knows the challenging parcours well, using the rugged Manx terrain as his training base throughout the year.
