Mist and fog in the Douglas area meant that racing got underway 3 and a half hours later then planned.
It was looking like it was going to be a Manx winner, as Ramsey's Connor Cummins was in the lead of the race until his success took a drastic twist.
He seemingly had the race in the bag and, after a stunning opening lap of 131.511mph, just a whisker outside the outright lap record.
He had to retire at Laurel Bank with mechanical failure.
Ian Hutchinson won the Superbike race on the Padgetts Honda with a lap of 127.398mphA
He told us after that he thought the racing was going to be stopped due to the weather.
