Southern 100: Rain and red flags hit opening race

The opening Corl꧃ett's Trophies 600/1000 race of the 2015 Southern 100 was postponed on Tuesday as poor weather and red-flag incidents combined to leave the event organisers playing catch-up.
Practice on Monday was hit by heavy rain and an oil spill on the Billown course on the Isle of Man and more inclement weather prevailed on the second night of the Diamond Jubilee meeti꧃ng.
Bradford's Dean Harrison came off in the 1000cc prac𝓀tice session on the Mar-Train Yamaha, forcing a red fag situation but fortunately escaping unsca♑thed.
RC Express Kawasaki rider Ivan Lintin completed a clean sweep of the solo practice sessions in the 1000✃cc, 600cc and Supertwins classes.
Lintin headed Tyco BMW's Guy Martin in the 1000cc session with a lap of 99.462mph, around four seconds quic♋ker than the current Solo Champion. Harrison posted the th🎀ird fastest 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 Harr🐓ison and Manx rider Dan Kneen on the Valvoline Padgetts Honda.
He also set the pace in the Supertwins session at 91.11🐲0mph to go comfortably clear of James Cowton (88.624mph).
The Corlett's Trophies 600/1000 Senior Solo Founders race was started in t♏he wet conditions following practice and it was Martin who had the bit between his teeth from Lintin whღen 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 ha🤪ve escaped serious injury▨.
Due to time restrictions and fa🉐ding light, the decision was taken to postpone the race u♊ntil later in the week.
A revised schedule for practi🔯ce and racing is set to be confirmed for Wednesday.
