Racing at Isle of Man TT delayed by poor weather

Racing at the Isle of Man TT has been delayed for even longer with road closures pushed back by four hours due to poor weather.

>Showers across the island and low cloud on the higher sections of the 37.7-mile (60km) Mountain Course meant roads began closing at 13:00 BST for racing, with the lower section shut at 14:00.

>Further schedule changes saw previously abandoned plans for evening racing reinstated and then scrapped again as the rain came back in.

>Ultimately, the revised programme included just one three-lap race - the Supersport race 1, which began at 15:00.

>The day's earlier schedule had featured a three-race programme, which included the rescheduled Superstock race that had been postponed from Saturday.

>The clerk of the course has already warned that with further unsettled conditions due for the rest of the week, Sunday's contingency road closures for racing were now "likely" to be used.
