Rain during the night and fog in the morning delayed the start of qualifying, meaning that the first runs could not take place until the afternoon. The newcomers started at 14:40 with a controlled lap. This was followed by untimed sessions for the Supersport and Supertwin classes, with Michael Dunlop (MD Racing Paton) and Josh Brookes (BPE by Russell Racing Yamaha) the first riders to take to the track. Then it was the turn of the Superbike/Superstock classes and finally the Sidecars.
