Dunlop tops leaderboards at final TT qualifying session

Last night saw the final qualifying session for this year's TT, with Michael Dunlop topping the Superstock, Supersport and Supertwin leaderboards.

Rain during the day meant the final practice was pushed back to 6:30pm, with some damp patches left in areas of the course.

Peter Hickman ends qualifying as the fastest with a 132.874mph lap last night, and finished 15 seconds faster than Dunlop, who was first to cross the line. 

Leading contenders in the Superstock were Dean Harrison, who was the early pacesetter at 127.853mph, closely followed by Conor Cummins (127.635mph), Neve (124.783mph, Nathan Harrison (124.313mph) and Brian McCormack (124.142mph).

The Sidecars had only just one lap after a burst water main affecting roads at Cronk y Mona and Mike Booth came off his bike at Joey's.

He was airlifted to Noble's Hospital with leg injuries.
