This year's Spring Cup at the Oliver's Mount circuit in Scarborough has been cancelled as work at the track will not be completed in time.

Some older buildings at the Yorkshire venue had to be demolished on safety grounds but time is running out, so organisers have taken a decision to bin the season opener.

A statement reads:

Scarborough Borough Council have made some great progress in getting the required permissions to demolish the condemned buildings, but there is still more to do on this, so we have taken the early decision now that The Spring Cup will not go ahead in 2022 so that riders and spectators looking at the early Irish events can make plans for them now.

We are planning to start our 2022 season after the TT with a return for The Cock O' The North followed by The Barry Sheene Classic and ending with the Michelin Steve Henshaw Gold Cup in September.

Thanks for your support and patience. We will release event dates once all required permissions are in place and we can then determine the date that the works will start in the paddock.
