The Isle of Man TT session on Tuesday was cancelled d💫u꧟e to bad weather.

An official statement, about half an hour after the bikes were due to go out, read: "Due to declining weather conditions a🌠round the TT Mountain Course tonight's session has now been cancelled.

"Please re𓄧member that all r🍎oads on the course currently remain closed."

Weather had been poor all day on the Is😼le of Man, although it did brighten up throughout the afte🦹rnoon.

As a result the session, due to begin at 6.30pm, was not🙈 cance♎lled or even delayed in advance.

But, with riders ready to gꦐo at 6.30pm, spots of rain began to fall again.

After a calm wait of around 30 minutes,🌞 the sessಌion was officially called off.

It was due to be the second Qualifying session, featuring Superbike and Superstock cla♓sses, then Supersport and Supertwin, and then Sidecars.

The weather forecast is promising for Weꦇdnesday, and for the the majority of the next fortnight.

From 6.30pm on Wednesda𓆏y, the Superbikes, Superstocksꦯ and Supersports will head out, followed by the Sidecars at 8.10pm.
