It’s more troubling weather for the 2017 Isle of Man TT, after Saturday’s opening session was cancelled, now we see Monday night’s qualifying sessions cancelled as well, all because of fog and rain on the course.
According to Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson, Monday’s sessions were cancelled because of a thick fog between Gutheries and Kate’s Cottage. There was also heavy rain on the Mountain section of the course.
Neither conditions showed signs of improving in time for the evening’s sessions, necessitating the cancellation of the day’s events.
It looks like conditions on Tuesday should be well enough for TT racers to get their bikes on the course, though Manx weather is mercurial, at best. Nevertheless, Tuesday’s session will run as follows:
18.20 — Speed controlled session solo newcomers
18.25 — Speed controlled session sidecar newcomers
18.35 — Superbike/ Superstock/ Supersport/ Newcomers (all classes ex Lightweight)
19.20 to 19.50 — Supersport/ Lightweight Newcomers (all solo classes) Qualifying
19.55 to 20.50 — Sidecars
