Isle of M𝓰an TT Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson says the event organisation “🔯achieved what we wanted to” on Monday despite practice being cancelled.

Practice for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:road race was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:cancelled on Monday after the speed controlled lap for the N𒁃ewcomers, but before any of the one-lap free practices had begun.

The reason was a combination of wet patches around the course, as well as light rain at the start line before the start of the Superspo♏rt and Supertwin session, and the expectation of rain to continue into the afternoon.

Clerk of the Co༒urse Gary Thompson said afterwards that the event had “achieved what we wanted to” o🦋n Monday despite the cancellation, as at least the Newcomers were able to complete their first lap.

“We’ve had to take the decision to cancel the rest of today’s schedule, ✅which was go✤ing to be free practice for all the solos and sidecars,” Thompson said in a video from the Isle of Man TT.

“We gave it a go this morning, obviously we w𓂃ere aware there w🉐as a weather front coming in but we were expecting that weather front to come in slightly later.

“So, we got the Newcomers’ Lap out the w🧔ay for both solos and sidecars, but unfortunately the rain came in earlier than expected.

“We’ve achieved what we wanted to today: we⛎’ve got the Newcomer laps out the way, so that’s good; and we now look forward to goin🌺g Tuesday evening.”

Thompson added that more rain is expected Tuesday ev꧋ening, but that from Wednesday things look more p꧟ositive.

“There is ano🍎ther weather front coming in on Tuesday evening, so we have to take that as it comes and try to get all the sessions out,” he said.

“But, if not, we’re looking good for Wednesday; Wedne꧋sday and the rest of the week is looking much more positive. We’ve got a high pressure coming in on Wednesday, and that’s due to last for a couple of days.

“So, we’ll try tomorrow, but if not then we’re going to go on Wednesday eveningꦆ.

“I just want to thank everyone for their patience; obviously for this morning we had to close the roa🎶ds and we had to go through a comprehensiꦓve road closure procedure, so I thank everyone for their patience and resilience, and really look forward to working with everybody throughout the rest of the TT.”
