This evening's Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT qualifying sessions have been cancelled with heavy showers forecast.

It is the latest qualifying session to have been disrupted this week. Sunday’s was curtailed by a combination of the weather and an incident involving Italian rider Salvatore Sallustro at Greeba Bridge.

As a result, a contingency session was held on Wednesday afternoon.

Further contingency sessions are expected to be used on Thursday afternoon and Friday evening ahead of the weekend’s first races, but a revised scheduled has yet to be confirmed by organisers.
