Sunday's scheduled race has made way for planned qualifying laps

  • Published

The start of racing at the Isle of Man TT races has been pushed back by another day following a qualifying week beset with weather disruption.

Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson confirmed Sunday's session would be used to allow competitors to complete more qualifying laps.

It comes after Saturday's additional session, which saw Davey Todd set the fastest lap of the week, was curtailed by low cloud on the mountain and rain around the course.

That has now seen Sunday's Superbike TT race pushed back, with a revised race schedule for Monday due to be released later.

The latest overhaul of the race schedule comes after Saturday's opening races had to be moved to Monday to allow for competitors to get more time on the course for qualifying.

All roads around the Roads around the 37.7-mile (61km) course were due to reopen no later than 18:30.
