Lack of practice sessions because of poor weather has resulted in the opening Isle of Man TT races being moved from Saturday to Sunday.

Five practice sessions, including two planned for Thursday, have been cancelled this week.

Saturday will be used as an additional qualifying day with Superbike and sidecar races taking place on Sunday.

Dean Harrison set the pace in the first Superbike qualifying session on Tuesday and also topped the Superstock class.

The Kawasaki rider's quickest lap is 129.53mph in the Superbikes and 129.34mph in topping the Superstocks.
