IOMTT Schedule Changed After More Weather Issues

The weather strikes again for the 2017 Isle of Man TT, as Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson was forced to cancel today’s qualifying session because of a persistent low cloud layer and imminent heavy rain for the island.

With meteorologists saying that the weather would only worsen throughout the day, it was a pretty straightforward choice for Thompson, though it has been a frustrating week so far for the TT riders, with this being the third practice/qualifying day that has been scratched from the schedule.

As such, the schedule for the next five days at the Isle of Man TT has been revised, with Thursday’s sessions moved to Friday, Sunday no long a rest day, and several more qualifying sessions sprinkled throughout the calendar.

The big news though is that the race schedule for the remainder of this year’s Isle of Man TT has been modified as well, with the Junior TT now kicking off on Sunday, the Sidecar Race 1 moved to Monday, and the Superstock TT race moved to Tuesday.

Revised Schedule for the 2017 Isle of Man TT:

Saturday, June 3rd

10.40 – 12.00 — Superbike/Superstock/Supersport/Newcomers (all Classes except Lightweight) Qualifying
