Isle of Man TT Races Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson, MBE, has taken the decision to postpone Saturday's Dainese Superbike race due to a lack of practice and qualifying time for competitors.

The poor weather earlier in the week resulted in the Monday's and Wednesday's qualifying sessions being untimed with Tuesday's cancelled.

Gary Thompson commented:

"Even before the house fire that affected this evening's session, the majority of the field simply hasn't had enough practice time on the Superbikes because of the bad weather earlier in the week. On behalf of the race organisation I'd like to apologise to anyone affected by the disruption on Sunday but we don't have an option. We will endeavour to get the roads open again on Sunday as soon as possible."

The revised schedule for the weekend is now as follows:
Saturday 1st June

09.30 Mountain Course closes
10.00 Rest of the Course closes
10.30 Superbike/Superstock/Supersport qualifying until 11.50
12.30 Sure Sidecar 1 Race
14.20 Lightweight/Supersport qualifying to 15.40
15.40 Superbike/Superstock (2 laps) to 16.30
16.20 SES TT Zero qualifying to 16.20
17.00 Scheduled roads open

Sunday 2nd June

13.00 Mountain Course closes
13.30 Rest of the Course closes
14.15 Dainese Superbike Race
17.00 Roads open

As most of you may already know, Japanese Tyco Suzuki rider Yoshi Matsu****a died last Monday as a result of a crash at Ballacrye during practice. Condolences to family, friends and the Tyco Suzuki team.

Well done Kiyo, 2 podiums at Knockhill. I'm quite enjoying BSB, bit of novelty for us kiwis.

Aaaargh - no televised racing this weekend? What am I going to do?!?

Aaaargh - no televised racing this weekend? What am I going to do?!?

I'm quite glad there's no racing this weekend as we're hunkering down for expected rough weather from tomorrow and snow to sea level over the weekend, possible power cuts - the infrastructure is still quite fragile here. Supermarkets running out of carrots, what's that about? Enjoy your summer.

Saturday 29th June MotoGP Netherlands / TT Assen.....Lorenzo out with busted collar bone.

Sunday 30th WSBK Italy- Imola

[Rod Richardson]

Lorenzo back in with a busted collar bone and a chunk of metal holding it together. Crutchlow on pole (sounds painful).
