Heavy rain caused qualifying to be delayed for an hour - officials and marshals taking an early lunch break.

Qualifying over the race programme got underway with conditions good for racing current leader of the Duke Rankings this year Ivan Lintin opened his account with a 24-second win in the SuperTwin race from current champion James Cowton with Jamie Coward third.

Next up was the first race for the Superbikes, which saw a dual between Dean Harrison and Ivan Lintin, with Harrison taking a 5-second victory from his rival.

And that was the end of the racing for the day, after a massive oil spillage on the approach to Farm Bends, firstly delayed further action for over an hour and a half, when after consultation with a number of the riders, the Clerk of the Course, announced that the remainder of the meeting was being abandoned for safety reasons.Dean's two wins elevates him two places to third, 154 points adrift of James Cowton in second, whilst Ivan Lintin's single win helps him maintain his position at the top of the Rankings 256 points ahead of the current Duke Champion.
