The second Supersport race at the 2024 Isle of Man TT, due to run on Thursday afternoon, has been cancelled due to rain.
Organisers have had to battle the elements on numerous occasions this week, with Tuesday’s Supertwin and Superstock races postponed to Wednesday due to poor conditions. Only the Supertwin race ended up running on Wednesday because of rain, forcing the Superstock race to be pushed back to Thursday alongside the second Supersport and Sidecar contests ousted from their Wednesday slots in the schedule reshuffle.
The Supersport race had originally be due to run at 2:15pm BST and would have finished by the time the rain arrived.

The 35-year-old equalled the record of 26 set by his late uncle Joey in 2000 last Saturday in the opening Supersport encounter.
