Racing at the Isle of Man TT has been pushed back by a day following weather disruption to qualifying, which has also curtailed Saturday's planned laps.

On Friday, Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson confirmed Sunday's scheduled Superbike TT race would take place as planned 13:30 BST.

However, he said Monday's contingency road closures would now be used to run the rescheduled Supersport race one at 10:45 and Sidecar race one at 14:00.

It follows disruption to practice and qualifying sessions on the 37.7-mile (61km) TT course earlier in the week due to poor weather conditions, including a delay to Saturday's schedule.

Saturday's planned race schedule has made way for qualifying sessions, weather permitting, but due to the deteriorating conditions the session was cut short after a delayed start.
