MGP qualifying set to continue this morning

Roads around mountain course due to close at 9.30am

Roads around the Mountain Course are due to close later this morning for a full day of Manx Grand Prix qualifying.

Today had originally been due to be the first race day of the event, but this week's weather disruption means additional qualifying time is needed.

The course is due to shut at 9.30am, with the first bikes setting off from the Grandstand at 10.15am.

However, organisers say roads are currently wet following heavy rain overnight, and it may be necessary to delay this morning's road closure.

A further update will be issued at 8.30am.

Roads will reopen by 4.30pm before shutting against at 6pm for the evening session, reopening by 9pm.
