There will be a delay to today’s road closure for the first TT race of the year.
Roads close at 4pm. The sidecar races is due to start at 5pm.
TT clerk of the course Gary Thompson said: ‘There’s a number of factors, including the incident at the 33rd [the helicopter crash].
‘At the moment it’s questionable whether the air med could fly [because of the high winds]. We’ve also been informed by Noble’s that its bed capacity is at its limit at the moment.
‘However, conditions are forecast to improve and were hoping to close roads at 4pm with the sidecars away at 5pm. All this is subject to a decrease of wind speeds.’
