The opening Corlett's Trophies 600/1000 race of the 2015 Southern 100 was postponed on Tuesday as poor weather and red-flag incidents combꦺined to leave the event organisers playing catch-up.

Practice on Monday was hit by heavy rain and an o🐬il spill on the Billown course on the Isle of Man and more inclement weather prevailed on the second night of t🦩he Diamond Jubilee meeting.

Bradford's Dean Harrison came off in the 1000cc practice session on the Mar-Train Yamaha, forcing a red fa🌳g situation buℱt fortunately escaping unscathed.

𝐆RC Express Kawasaki rider Ivan Lintin completed a clean sweep of the solo practice sessions in the 1000cc, 600cc and Supertwins classes.

Lintin headed Tyco BMW's Guy Martin in the 1000cc session with a lap of 99.462mph, around four seconds quicker than the current Solo Champion. Harrison posted the third faste♐st time despite his spill at 96.730mph.

In the 600cc class, Lintin again went top with a best lap of 92.886mph to lead the way from Harrison and Manx ri💞der Dan K🌳neen on the Valvoline Padgetts Honda.

He also 🐲set the pace in the Supertwins session at 91.110mph to go comfortably clear of James Cowton (88.624mph).

The Corlett's Trophies 600/1000 Senior Solo Founders race was started in the wet conditions following practice and it was Martin who had the bit between his teeth from Li🦋ntin when the race was red-flagged on the second lap.

An incident was reported at Osborne's, with the competitor involved airlifted to Noble's Hospital but believed to have 💞escapꦯed serious injury.

Due to time restrictions and fading light, the decision was taken to postpone the race until later💦 in the week.

A 𒁃revised sche༺dule for practice and racing is set to be confirmed for Wednesday.
