Results for Wednesday's Superbike, Superstock, Supersport and Supertwin Qualifying sessions at the 2023 Isle of Man TT.

Dean Harrison, Michael Dunlop and Peter Hickman set the first sub-17 minute laps of the week during Wednesday evening's Qualifying session at the 2023 Isle of Man TT.

DAO Racing Kawasaki rider Harrison, second to Hickman on Tuesday, delivered two 16min flyers - the second with an average speed of 133.514mph - to top the Superbike timesheets by 1.122s from Michael Dunlop's Hawk Racing Honda.

FHO BMW's Hickman completed the SBK top three (17m 10.076s) after a late, single lap, but led the Superstock class courtesy of an earlier 16min 59.087s (133.284mph) stunner.

Dunlop had set a 17m 3.619s on his STK bike, putting him second in class to Hickman, before switching over to the Superbike.

Harrison and Jamie Coward were then quickest in the following Supersport/Supertwin session, respectively.

Qualifying continues on Thursday evening and concludes on Friday, with the opening races on Saturday...

Monday's Qualifying 1 saw 21-time TT winner Michael Dunlop complete a clean sweep of the Superbike (Hawk Racing Honda, 131.782mph), Superstock (MD Racing Honda, 130.426mph), Supersport (MD Racing Yamaha, 127.019mph) and Supertwin (MD Racing Paton, 122.907mph) classes.

Defending Superbike winner Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) then upped the pace to head Tuesday's Qualifying 2 with an average speed of 132.079mph. Dunlop was third in Tuesday's Superbike session, behind Dean Harrison (DAO Racing Kawasaki), but continued to reign in Superstock. The Supersport and Supertwin sessions were cancelled due to oil on the road.
