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.

The 2017 Isle of Man TT is finally underway…sort of. The iconic road race had to scratch its opening session, as the fog rolled into the island nation, making the visibility on the lower parts of the course too difficult for motorcycles to run.

This left Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson no option but to cancel the opening qualifying session, leaving Monday to be the true start of the TT sessions, thus delaying our pleasure for proper road racing on the Manx island.
