With much of Tuesday, Wednesday and all of Friday lost to bad weather, organisers had been forced to alter Saturday’s Senior TT finale day timetable.
While originally only the six-lap Senior TT was meant to take place, three races are now due to take place owing to this week’s weather disruption.
Initially, action was due to get under way at 10:30am with a two-lap Supersport race, followed by a two-lap Supertwin contest at 1:30pm and a shortened four-lap Senior TT at 4:15pm.
However, over the course of the morning, organisers have issued several delays due to isolated showers and damp sections of the race track. At first, racing was delayed by an hour but will now get going now earlier than midday.
A new timetable shows organisers still plan to run three races, with Supersport starting at 12pm. The Supertwin race will take place at 3pm and the Senior TT finale will run at 5:45pm.
There are road closing contingencies for Sunday, but this is only for exceptional circumstances and at this stage appear unlikely to be utilised.
This because Sunday’s weather forecast looks uncertain, while the logistics of staging racing on 9 June would be difficult as many teams, riders and marshals are booked to leave the Isle of Man on Saturday evening.
The second Superstock race of the week was cancelled outright, having meant to run on Friday before the day’s action was cancelled.
