Isle of Man TT releases new race schedule

Isle of Man TT organisers have produced a revised race schedule following the latest cancellations due to rain and low cloud.

Tuesday’s action was canned because of rain and poor weather conditions across the Island which has forced a change to the schedule from the initial planned RL360 Superstock TT race plus qualifying sessions for Sidecars, Lightweight and TT Zero.

The Superstock race has been pushed back to Thursday, starting at 12:15, which will be followed by the TT Zero race at 15:00.

On Wednesday the second Monster Energy Supersport TT race is set to start at 10:45 with the Bennetts Lightweight TT taking place at 14:15.

Friday’s current schedule, which will see this year’s Isle of Man TT end with the second Sidecar TT race at the blue riband Senior TT, remains unchanged.

The Isle of Man TT has been truncated by poor weather conditions, with just two days of practice able to run during the opening week, which triggered a delay of the first races from Saturday (June 1st) to Monday (June 3rd).

Peter Hickman grabbed victory in a red-flagged RST Superbike TT for Smiths Racing BMW following a tragic incident in which Daley Mathison lost his life.

Ben and Tom Birchall secured a sixth consecutive Locate.im Sidecar TT victory in the second race of the day, with Lee Johnston taking his maiden TT triumph by winning the opening Monster Energy Supersport race which was ended at the end of Lap 2 due to rain.
