Isle of Man TT Wednesday qualifying cancelled by rain

The Isle of Man TT’s Wednesday qualifying session has been cancelled due to poor conditions as rain returns to the Mountain Course.

After Monday’s session was canned due to rain, Tuesday acted as an opportunity for all riders to make up for lost time in dry and sunny conditions, while it also acted as the first opportunity for the 1000cc machines.

But Wednesday’s qualifying session has been cancelled due to the rain returning along with low cloud and mist making conditions unsafe.

Isle of Man TT organisers have confirmed Thursday’s evening session remains unchanged, while an additional afternoon session has been penned in to provide extra opportunity for course time after losing Wednesday’s running but is subject to weather conditions.

Dean Harrison topped both the Superbike and Superstock classes yesterday, while Peter Hickman led the Supersport times.

Thursday's schedule is now as follows:

11:15: Mountain Road closed

12:30: All roads closed

13:00: Superbike/Superstock/Supersport/Newcomers Qualifying

15:00: Sidecar Qualifying

16:30: Roads open except the Mountain Road

18:00: All roads closed

18:20: Superbike/Superstock/Supersport/Newcomers Qualifying

19:35: TT Zero Qualifying

19:55: Sidecar Qualifying

21:30: Roads open except the Mountain Road

22:30: All roads open

This evenings Qualifying Session has been cancelled due to poor conditions on the TT Mountain Course. Lots of rain and low cloud and mist. Dependent on weather conditions tomorrow, we will have a Qualifying session on Thursday afternoon as per the schedule. Sorry guys.....
