Racing planned for Mad Sunday after weather problems

Friday, 2 June 2017 00:00

TT organisers say they're planning to hold racing on Mad Sunday after a washed-out week of practicing.

Last night's practices had to be called off because of weather - competitors have had just one full session on the course so far this year.

Saturday will see solos and sidecars out on the course qualifying, while the Superbike race is now planned for 2pm on Sunday.

The revised schedule means Supersport and Sidecar 1 races are now planned for Monday, with the Superstock race scheduled for Tuesday.
