David Johnson was quickest on the Superstock machines while Ivan Linton set the pace in the Supersport class.

The Birchall brothers were at the top of the sidecar timesheets with a lap in excess of 116mph, just ahead of John Holden and Lee Cain.

The TT Zero bikes were also out for the first time, with Michael Ritter posting the fastest time on the Mugen.

Practice continues this evening ahead of tomorrow's Superbike and first Sidecar race.
