Patches of mist have created poor visibility conditions on the Mountain Course

There will be no racing at the Isle of Man TT races until Wednesday due to rain and mist on the island.

Organisers said the decision was taken after consultation with the Met Office.

Clerk of the course Gary Thompson said: "Low cloud and mist is forecast to remain for most of the day with persistent showers throughout the day".

Weather permitting, the second Supersport race will be staged at 10:45 BST on Wednesday, with the Lightweight race set for the afternoon.

Monday saw TT wins for Peter Hickman in the Superbike opener, Ben and Tom Birchall in the sidecar race and a maiden victory for Lee Johnston in Supersport race one.

The schedule for Thursday has been released and the Superstock race, originally scheduled for Monday and rearranged for Tuesday, has now been moved to Thursday with a 12:15 BST start.
