Superstock TT Race Two – Three laps
Peter Hickman defeated Michael Dunlop earlier this week with a convincing victory in the Tuesday’s three-round Superstock finished with a lap of 134.331 mph although the 36-year-old was fidgeting on the final lap with some unbelievably long wheels at various points on the track, including carrying a beauty all the way to the finish line. Although competing for the crowd, the difference between Hickman’s victory over Dunlop was more than 23 seconds. Dean Harrison was 15 seconds behind to finish the podium. On the back of that pattern, Hickman named it the most popular.
Josh Brookes spent time with his team yesterday doing some short circuit testing in preparation for today and thought they went a step further only for Josh to declare that the changes did not. effective on the TT track after his warm-up lap. The fire went out on his bike just meters after starting on Tuesday, so the two-time British Superbike champion will be hoping to make the full lap today to prepare. Give yourself a better angle at Senior TT on Saturday.
Davey Todd was in doubt for today and if the race had started on time there was no way he could have started. Todd’s team filled up with fuel and put the bike on the grid in case their men could race.
After some anti-sickness shots and rest, he achieved his medical certification just minutes before the rescheduled 12:45 start time. In the rush to make the net, he, 27, almost took me and many others out on his e-scooter as I was returning from the net.
David Johnson was again the first to go far, the South Australian finished eighth on Tuesday and will be hoping to go someplace better today. Unfortunately, he ran early in the opening lap at Ballacraine and that brought his attack to a halt before it actually started. Lock his rear brake when stopping his race.
When they passed Glen Helen for the first time, nothing separated Peter Hickman and Michael Dunlop while Dean Harrison walked a few seconds behind them and Conor Cummins recovering from illness came fourth ahead of Jamie Coward.
At Ramsey, Hickman and Dunlop were still a bit apart but that pair was actually far behind Harrison, the Kawasaki man by eight seconds. Conor Cummins looked fine in fourth with a gap of five seconds over James Hillier, who edged past Jamie Coward for fifth. Josh Brookes rose to seventh place.
The drivers arrived for a mandatory pit stop at the end of lap one and Hickman led Dunlop by 1.8 seconds with Dean Harrison over ten seconds in third. Conor Cummins fourth, Jamie Coward fifth, James Hiller sixth, Josh Brookes seventh and John McGuinness eighth.
Peter Hickman really started to trail Michael Dunlop and Dean Harrison in the second round. Hickman leads Dunlop four seconds ahead of Ramsey, and Harrison is 13 seconds behind but with a convenient 16 seconds ahead of fourth-placed Conor Cummins. Jamie Coward is 15 seconds behind in fifth and is currently downed by Josh Brookes and John McGuinness, while James Hillier drops to eighth.
As they started the third and final round, Hickman was five seconds ahead of Dunlop and Harrison was 23 seconds behind in third but 18 seconds behind Conor Cummins. Jamie Coward, Josh Brookes, John McGuinness and James Hiller took just eight seconds so fifth place is still wide open with 37.73 miles to run.
Hickman and Dunlop were really at odds at the moment, but when Dunlop asked the question, Hickman had the answer and continued to develop his advantage. Both drivers set lap records at Glen Helen and continued to trail Harrison. Conor Cummins remained fourth while Jamie Coward had trailed his pursuers, his advantage over Brookes over Ballaugh by four seconds.
Michael Dunlop overcame the fastest Sulby speed trap at 197 mph on the Honda but Ramsey Hickman was 10 seconds short of the lap record on the FHO BMW M 1000 RR. Michael Dunlop overtook Dean Harrison at the Mountain Mile despite starting forty seconds ahead of the Northern Irishman. Brookes regained some points against Coward in that match in fifth place and ahead of Bungalow Brookes rose to fifth with a two-tenth advantage over Coward.
Peter Hickman set an all-time lap record of 136,358 on the final lap to claim a 17-second win over Dunlop, who is also behind the Superstock lap record of 134,730 mph. Harrison crossed the back line for another 40 seconds to step onto the podium after hitting 132,400 mph on the final lap.
Peter Hickman
“Absolutely brilliant and so happy for FHO BMW, they worked so hard all week. It’s never been easy, Michael Dunlop is keeping up and people are really pushing the boat out. It started off a bit slow, felt a bit tired and sore but then got better. Will discuss with the team on whether to use Superstock bikes in Senior TT, Superstock bikes have advantages in some areas and Superbike advantages in others, so we need to sit down and make informed decisions about how to go.”
Conor Cummins finished fourth rather lonely in a stellar performance as he missed most of the training week and the start of race week due to illness but the 132.376 mph lap in the last confirmed potential. his.
Josh Brookes won his competition with Jamie Coward for fifth place in less than half a second. That Thursday equated to Brookesy’s best at TT and his 131,759 mph in the final lap was the 40-year-old’s new personal best.
After that, many riders quickly turned their heads to prepare for the second and final SuperTwin of TT 2023. Tomorrow, Saturday, we have TT week’s flagship event, Senior TT six rounds.
