Clerk-of-the-Course-postpones-Superbike-race-due-to-lack-of-practice-time - Malcolm - 31-05-2013 Isle of Man TT Races Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson, MBE, has taken the decision to postpone Saturday's Dainese Superbike race due to a lack of practice and qualifying time for competitors. The poor weather earlier in the week resulted in the Monday's and Wednesday's qualifying sessions being untimed with Tuesday's cancelled. Gary Thompson commented: "Even before the house fire that affected this evening's session, the majority of the field simply hasn't had enough practice time on the Superbikes because of the bad weather earlier in the week. On behalf of the race organisation I'd like to apologise to anyone affected by the disruption on Sunday but we don't have an option. We will endeavour to get the roads open again on Sunday as soon as possible." The revised schedule for the weekend is now as follows: Saturday 1st June 09.30 Mountain Course closes 10.00 Rest of the Course closes 10.30 to 11.50 Superbike/Superstock/Supersport qualifying 12.30 Sure Sidecar 1 Race 14.20 to 15.40 Lightweight/Supersport qualifying 15.40 to 16.15 Superbike/Superstock (2 laps) 16.20 to 16.30 SES TT Zero qualifying 17.00 Scheduled roads open Sunday 2nd June 13.00 Mountain Course closes 13.30 Rest of the Course closes 14.15 Dainese Superbike Race 17.00 Roads open .
