Hickman improves Superbike lap time

Peter Hickman was fastest in last night's TT practice session, completing a lap at 132.806mph.

The time was last year's overall solo champion's quickest Superbike time so far this week.

Manxman Conor Cummins was the only other rider lapping in excess of 131mph.

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.
