Wednesday practice cancelled
The practice session planned for Wednesday evening at the Isle of Man TT has been cancelled.
Organisers confirmed the session, due to start at 6.20pm, would not go ahead due to bad weather conditions. The announcement was made at 1.30pm.
Tuesday’s practice session was disrupted by rain, standing water and low-lying cloud and saw just six solos go out for a single lap of the world-famous Mountain Circuit. The sidecar outfits followed out the solos.
Further practices are scheduled for Thursday and Friday evenings, with the first races of the 2008 TT taking place on Saturday.
