Weather affects practices again

It was another disappointing night for race fans last night with bad weather delaying the TT practices for the third time in a row.

Earlier sunshine faded and rain in the north of the Island left clerk of the course Gary Thompson little option but to send out the session untimed.

With stationary yellow flags displayed for almost a third of the lap the riders did little more than sighting laps with most pulling in after one.

The sidecars got their first track action since Saturday with all crews taking advantage of the time despite the poor conditions.

Tonight will see qualifying from 6.20pm with the sidecars out first followed by the superbike, superstock, supersport and newcomers from 7.15pm.
