Ian Hutchinson Becomes Fourth Rider To Pass 130+mph

In a break in tradition, it was the sidecar crews who got to tackle the Mountain Course first.

However, early road traffic accidents on the Mountain section meant there was a delay to proceedings and it wasn't until 6.45pm that the action got underway.

Dave Molyneux/Patrick Farrance were fasted in the sidecars at 115.464mph.

It was an exciting night in the solo's with records being broken and personal bests are being smashed, so it's looking to be a ve4ry exciting TT.

Ian Hutchinson was again flying getting the fastest lap time. He crossed the line to record a lap of 130.165mph, his first ever 130mph+ lap, the fourth rider ever to cross that benchmark.

Connor Cummins and Cameron Donald were just behind.

Rutter and Dunlop were also upping their pace, setting personal best laps of 127.564mph and 127.946mph.

Much of the talk of the night was 15 times winner John McGuiness who smashed through Sulby  at over 191 mph.

Sidecar team Nigel Mayers and Joseph Shardlow were involved in an incident at Kates Cottage. Mayers was unhurt but Shardlow was taken by airmed to hospital.
