The poor weather that has dogged the start of TT 2019 continues to cause problems with the event’s qualifying schedule.

The loss of three planned evening sessions this week because of wet weather and low cloud had forced organisers to utilise this afternoon as an emergency session. However, once again the weather has had other ideas forcing its cancellation as well.

Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson Tweeted:’This afternoon’s qualifying schedule has been cancelled due to poor visibility and weather conditions.

Thompson added he hoped this evening’s session would still go ahead as planned: ’Weather is due to improve throughout the day, so I am cautiously optimistic for tonight qualifying session to go ahead as per schedule.’
