Delays continue at Isle of Man TT, Supersport rescheduled

The second Supersport race at the Isle of Man TT has been postponed to Thursday due to ongoing delays with rain and poor conditions.

After Tuesday’s action was cancelled by rain and poor visibility, Wednesday’s rescheduling has been stalled due to intermittent showers which has seen the afternoon action cancelled.

The second Monster Energy Supersport race has been rescheduled to Thursday, which is also set to host the RL360 Superstock TT, the second Locate.im Sidecar TT and the SES TT Zero races.

The Bennetts Lightweight TT remains set to start at 18:30 on Wednesday evening but has been reduced to three laps from four.

As a result, Thursday’s schedule sees a packed action planned starting with the Superstock TT at 12:15, followed by the Sidecar TT race two at 14:15 and the TT Zero at 16:00. The second Supersport TT will then take place on Thursday evening starting at 18:30.

Friday will host the six-lap Dunlop Senior TT, scheduled to start at 10:30, subject to the weather conditions.

This year’s Isle of Man TT has been truncated by bad weather, 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 Sidecar TT victory in the second race of the day, with Lee Johnston taking his maiden TT triumph by winning the opening Supersport race which was ended at the end of Lap 2 due to rain.
