Peter Hickman, 2023 Isle of Man TT

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

Defending TT winner Peter Hickman will go into Friday's fifth and final Superbike qualifying as the rider to beat after topping the Thursday evening session.

Hickman, who focussed on Superstock yesterday, came out swinging with a new fastest lap of the week - 16m 55.181s/133.797mph - on his opening loop with the FHO BMW Superbike and was never headed (his second lap being slightly slower).

Michael Dunlop was also under the 17min barrier from the off. The 21-time TT winner then came close to repeating the feat on his Hawk Honda Superstock machine before switching back to the SBK Fireblade and closing to within just 0.162s of Hickman.

Completing the top three was DAO Kawasaki's Dean Harrison, quickest on Wednesday with a 16m 57.329s/133.514mph lap. Harrison posted a 17m 1.870s/132.921mph best on his Superbike and was a fraction from Dunlop in Superstock.

Hickman was third in Superstock, although his 16m 59.087s/133.284mph from Wednesday remains the best STK lap of the week so far.

As well as Superstock, Dunlop also set the pace in the Supersport, a class where he won both races and set a new lap record last year.
