Roads on the Isle of Man will close twice on Wednesday for qualifying sessions in the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT. A daytime contingency session is scheduled to compensate for the cancellation of Monday's evening qualifying due to rain. Conditions are expected to be suitable for Tuesday evening's session, though rain is still a possibility. Wednesday's first road closure will start at 12:30 BST and last until 17:00, followed by another closure from 18:00 until 21:00 for the evening program. Qualifying will continue until early Saturday afternoon, with the races scheduled to start later that day.
