Wet and windy weather causing problems again

The Festival of Motorcycling has once again fallen foul of the weather.

This evening's scheduled qualifying session has been cancelled, thanks to the wind and rain.

Two sessions are being planned for tomorrow, as Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson aims to give Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix competitors enough of a chance to qualify for their respective races.

Roads around the course will close at 12.30pm for the afternoon session, reopen between 4.30pm and 6pm, then close again at 6pm for the evening one.

They're due to reopen by 8.30pm, according to the latest update issued by race organisers.

Mr Thompson is hopeful the double session will help everyone catch up, as long as things go according to plan:
