No Friday qualifying as weather disrupts schedule once again
Sympathy for Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson is riding sky-high as once more at TT 2019 the ACU's man in the tower was forced to inform the paddock - and fans around the world - that weather had defeated organiser's hopes of running a qualifying session.
Friday's evening cancellation was, including afternoon contingency sessions, the fifth consecutive cancellation in what is turning out to be a very poor year for track time at the TT.
Although some fans have decided to cut their losses and leave the Island, many more have shown the spirit motorcycle fans are well known for:
Other fans have lamented the excellent weather elsewhere in the British Isles
And some decided to use the spare time to do their bit for the Island's environment and coastline.
Sadly, despite Mike and his friends' best efforts the weather wasn't to be persuaded otherwise.
With no other option left to the organisers Friday's qualifying went by the board and attention now turns to Saturday - traditionally the opening race day of a TT meeting - which will now see practices run to the following schedule announced at 18:30 on Friday.
