2015 IOMTT: Races rescheduled due to bad weather
There was no racing today at the Isle of Man owing to extreme weather conditions that led to a helicopter crash on the island. The parade lap, qualifying sessions and the races were called off as strong winds over the mountain course made it infeasible for the medical helicopter to cover the section. The decision to cancel the sessions was announced by the Clerk of The Course at 1:30 pm GMT.
Spell of bad weather continues at the Isle of Man
The Superbike TT was about to take place in the morning and spectators were eager to witness the thrilling battle between John McGuinness, Bruce Anstey (who topped the final practice session), Ian Hutchinson and Michael Dunlop. However, with the weather playing spoil sport, the wait will be excruciating as the race has now been postponed to Sunday.
The weather was expected to improve towards the evening but conditions were not conducive to go racing and hence the Sidecars couldn't take to the track either.
The provisional schedule for 2015 Isle Of Man TT is as follows (All times in GMT)
