Will we get a TT qualifying session today on the day the racing schedule was originally due to begin?

If it gets the green light, all roads around the course will be shut from 11am and is expected to re-open at around 5.30pm.

Spectators are reminded the mountain road will shut from the earlier time of 10.15am from Barrule Park in Ramsey and re-open at the end of the session at around 6.30pm.

Poor weather has caused havoc for the practice schedule so far, causing sessions to be called off on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and meaning the first race day of the year was postponed until tomorrow.
