Need to know: Morning road closures for Classic TT

Michael Dunlop is among the TT champions taking part in the returning Classic TT-branded races

Roads around the Isle of Man are set to close as planned for Wednesday's Classic TT races, despite possible rain disruption to the schedule, organisers have said.
The 37.7-mile (61km) Mountain Course will shut from 09:30 to 17:00 BST, with people urged to plan accordingly.
As well as the daytime closure, the clerk of the course has confirmed the available evening contingency session between 18:00 and 21:00 would be used if needed.
Ronaldsway Met Office said outbreaks of rain were expected at the start of the day, "possibly turning heavy at times", making way for a dry spell with bright intervals from early afternoon.
Wednesday's three-race schedule for the introduced Classic TT classes also includes two parade laps.
Wednesday's schedule
10:15 - Historic Junior Classic TT Race (3 laps)
12:00 - TT Rewind: The 80s & 90s Parade Lap (1 lap)
13:00 - Formula 1 Classic TT Race (3 laps)
14:45 - Lightweight Classic TT Race (3 laps)
16:05 - Classic Sidecar Parade Lap (1 lap)
Plans to complete the Lightweight Classic TT race as part of Monday's Manx Grand Prix schedule - two days earlier than planned – because of the unsettled weather forecast were disrupted after a crash on lap one led to it being red-flagged.
Although organisers had hoped to restart the race, it was ultimately pushed back to its original date after discussions with race teams about the amount of daylight remaining.
Racing in the Classic TT, which has been run in parallel to the Manx Grand Prix (MGP), continues until Friday.
Racing in the MGP saw the Supertwin and Supersport races completed on Saturday, with the Junior and Senior classes held on Monday.
