2023 Isle of Man TT Results
Qualifying – Wednesday

A beautiful Wednesday evening at the Isle of Man witnessed the first 133 mph laps of the week overnight and we had a new fastest man of the day for third day in a row, this time Dean Harrison on the DAO Racing Kawasaki fastest of the day and the week at 133.514 mph on his Superbike.

Peter Hickman (FHO Racing Monster Energy BMW) also broke the 133 mph barrier but in the Superstock class, topping it with a speed of 133.284 mph. Hickman was also fastest in the Supersport class, his lap of 127.206 mph on the K2 Trooper Beer by PHR Triumph the quickest of the week.

Michael Rutter, another seasoned veteran with legend status, also upped his pace with a lap of 129.147 mph.

Rob Hodson impressed, the SMT Racing rider lapping at 127.38 mph which, like Coward, was an unofficial best for the Wigan rider.

David Johnson lapped at 126 mph on both his Superbike and Superstock bikes and 121 mph in Supersport, all on Honda machinery.

Rennie Scaysbrook recorded a 117 mph lap on the Wilson Craig Honda.

Newcomers Matthieu Lagrive and Ryan Cringle improved today with respective laps of 117.088 mph and 116.319 mph.

The weather this week, and indeed the forecast for race week, is similar to what we had here in 2018, where new lap records were set in every class and remain the benchmarks standing to this day. The early pace seen this week suggests that those benchmarks will change before TT 2023 is complete.
