Hopes to get FoM 2019 underway tonight

Will today see the 2019 Festival of Motorcycling get underway tonight?

Roads are currently due to close around the TT course from 6pm and re-open no later than 9pm.

It comes after the original opener on Saturday was called off due to poor weather conditions following a series of delays, and yesterdays contingency schedule cancelled because of a lack of marshals.

Should today run as planned, the session will open the Classic TT Superbikes/Lightweights at 6.20pm and finish with the MGP Newcomers practice at around 7.45pm.
