Qualifying sessions for the Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix, scheduled for Monday evening, have been cancelled due to unsafe road conditions caused by rainfall. Organisers cited extensive water accumulation on the 37.7-mile Mountain Course and forecasts of further showers. This decision follows an earlier disrupted session on Sunday, which was cut short due to a red flag incident. The remaining schedule for Tuesday is expected to continue as planned, with roads set to close at 18:00 BST.
