Isle of Man TT outright lap record holder Peter Hickman breached the 134mph barrier on his Superstock BMW to top Friday qualifying as practice week comes to an end.
FHO Racing rider Hickman, chasing to add to his tally of 13 TT wins this year, holds the outright lap record of 136.358mph set in last year’s second Superstock race. Having encountered an issue on that bike earlier on Friday’s bumper qualifying day, Hickman elected to begin Friday evening’s Superbike/Superstock session on his stock BMW. On pace for a 133mph lap from a standing start on his opening tour of the 37.75-mile TT course, Hickman outbraked himself at Signpost towards the end of the lap.
Hickman completed two laps on his Superstock BMW before switching to his Superbike for a final tour in the session, with the 13-time TT winner going third overall with a 132.863mph effort. Todd was Hickman’s nearest challenger, setting his best lap of the evening – a 132.976mph lap – on his Superstock BMW, with Dunlop posting the fourth-fastest lap overall at 132.674mph on his Superstock Honda. Honda’s Harrison held the fifth fastest lap of the evening at 132.
