The weather has once again conspired to cause the postponement of a second TT qualifying session in three days.

After Saturday's opening evening of the festival was put back to Sunday afternoon because of low cloud and damp patches, Monday evening’s schedule has also been scrapped because of wet weather.

Clerk of the course Gary Thompson Tweeted: ’Tonight’s practice/qualifying session has been cancelled due to inclement weather ie. it’s raining heavily.

’Tomorrow night’s session will run to tonight’s schedule- Superbike/Superstock/Supersport followed by Sidecars.’

That is due to begin at 6.20pm with roads closing from 4.45pm onwards.Tuesday's revised schedule:4.45pm: Barrule Park Ramsey to Bungalow closed5pm: Bungalow to Creg Ny Baa closed6pm: All course closed6.20pm: Start Superbike/ Superstock/ Newcomers (All classes except Lightweight) Qualifying8.05pm: Start Sidecar qualifying9.30pm: Roads open except Mountain section (Barrule Park Ramsey to Creg Ny Baa)10.30pm: All course open
