TT practice day scrapped

The first practice of TT 2011 has been scrapped

The decision has been made in a bid to cut costs for teams and riders.

An un timed practice was due to be held on Saturday, May 28 next year which would have been the first day of the TT fortnight, now organisers will begin the event on the following Monday - May 30 - instead.

Next year 100 years of racing on the Mountain Course will be celebrated.
