By As predicted by many, the lack of track time accumulated by competitors during an ultra challenging practice week, has prompted a shake up in the TT 2019 race week schedule.
Saturday the 1st of June, originally the day intended to run the six lap RST Superbike race, will now become a day for competitors to bank track time a plenty, via practice sessions for all solo classes and the Sidecar fraternity, with action intended to get underway from 11:40 AM.
Sunday the 2nd of June, as long the schedule goes to plan, now has the honour of hosting the opening race of TT 2019, meaning that presently were on for a ‘Superbike Sunday’ treat.
