Wednesday Qualifying
Detailed forecast
Issued on Wednesday, 22 August 2018 at 4:50pm by Ronaldsway Met Office
Staying dry and bright this evening with some sunshine and fairly light or moderate north-westerly winds.
Clear spells tonight and temperatures gradually falling to around 11 Celsius later.
A bright start tomorrow but soon becoming cloudy with the chance of showers by about mid-morning, then turning mostly bright again into the afternoon with sunny intervals.
Highest temperature around 17°C, with a freshening westerly wind.
Wednesday qualifying programme will now be as follows:
18.00 - Roads close around the course

Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson has confirmed that the race organisation will now use the additional qualifying session on the afternoon of Thursday 23rd August, which was provisionally scheduled in the race authorisation. This will mean that there will be two qualifying sessions on Thursday 23rd to ensure that the riders have enough time to practice before the first scheduled race day on Saturday 25th August.
Thursday’s qualifying programme will see roads close around the course at 12.30pm with the first qualifying session running from 1pm to 3.55pm. The roads will then open again at 4.30pm around the course and close again at 6pm for the scheduled evening qualifying session.
