"The island is steeped in cycling heritage, passion and tradition, making it the ideal venue for such a prestigious event.
"In addition to its unrivalled cycling history," Clay continued, "the Isle of Man enjoyed a hugely successful return to hosting elite cycle racing in 2016 with the Manx International Grand Prix, so we have great confidence that this year’s HSBC UK National Road Championships will be a tremendous occasion and help to underpin elite road racing on the island and raise its profile nationwide."
