This evening’s Isle of Man TT practice has been cancelled due to damp roads and mist on the Mountain.

Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson carried out a course inspection at 4pm and found that roads were still too wet to run any practice today even though rain ceased a couple of hours ago. Saturday’s opening session was also cancelled.

“Tonight’s TT qualifying session is cancelled due to mist and heavy rain on the Mountain section, no chance of drying in time,” he Tweeeted.
