Dean Harrison during TT 2018 practice week

Dean Harrison unofficially broke the Superbike lap record in Tuesday's TT practice.

The Silicone Engineering Kawasaki rider completed a lap of 133.462mph, becoming just the second rider to lap the TT course in under 17 minutes.

Peter Hickman remained at the top of the Superstock timesheets, while Michael Dunlop was quickest in the Supersport session, while Ivan Lintin was quickest in the Lightweights despite a low-speed off at Governor's Bridge earlier in the evening.

John Holden and Lee Cain continued to set the pace in the sidecars with a lap of 115.732mph, with the Birchall Brothers also lapping in excess of 115mph.

Practice continues this evening, which will include the first outing with the TT Zero bikes this year.
