TT 2025: Thursday qualifying cancelled because of poor weather - revised Friday schedule confirmed with evening contingency session utilised

Thursday’s qualifying session at the Isle of Man TT has been cancelled because of poor weather conditions.

It had been hoped that the second qualifying session of the week would go ahead after an expected improvement in the weather on Thursday afternoon.

However, an update issued by the TT organisers at 16:06 BST said: “The Clerk of the Course has confirmed this evening’s qualifying session has been cancelled due to weather conditions.

“A revised schedule for Friday will be issued shortly.”
