Opening day of TT Festival falls to inclement weather -Superbike TT postponed until Monday.

Rain and mist on part of the Snaefell section of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course led to the postponement of the opening day's race programme.

The decision was made after a 30-minute delay to the start time of mid-day had been advised, with officials talking of an oil spill at the Bungalow, damp patches at the Mountain Box and also restricted vision for the rescue helicopter.

The six lap Superbike TT and the first of the two Sidecar races will now be run on Monday.

The weather forecast for the week ahead is excellent, after a very wet 'Mad Sunday.'

Sidecar Race 'A' follows - three laps

Tuesday June 5.
Supersport TT 12.15 - four laps

Wednesday June 6.
