TT fans will be watching the weather this morning hoping that TT practices can actually take place.

Roads around the TT course are due to close this morning for qualifying, instead of racing.

Today was meant to be the opening day of the race programme, but weather has stopped any practice since Tuesday.

The Mountain Road will close from Barrule Park to the Bungalow from 10.15am, with the rest of the road shut by 10.30am.

The whole course is due to be closed by 11am, with solo classes excluding the Lightweights scheduled to be on the course by 11.40am.
