The poor weather that has dogged this year’s TT continued into Saturday morning, causing a delay to the day’s scheduled.

Roads around the Mountain Course were meant to close this morning, but some persistent low cloud and drizzle has pushed that back to 1pm.

The first bikes are due on course at 1.30pm for the first of two qualifying sessions planned for this afternoon for all classes.
