2022 Isle of Man TT Qualifying Results
Monday Session

Peter Hickman was the only rider to break through the 130 mph lap barrier on Monday with a 130.719 putting him seven-seconds clear of second quickest Dean Harrison (129.836 mph).

Todd’s strong start to this year’s event continued as he set the fastest lap in the Superstock class, the Milenco by Padgett’s Motorcycles rider lapping at 129.583 mph which put him clear of team-mate Conor Cummins (127.91 mph) and Michael Dunlop (126.597 mph)

Meanwhile, the newcomers continued to get to grips with the Mountain Course with Glenn Irwin again leading the way at 122.92 mph although both Milo Ward (118.24 mph) and Joe Loughlin (117.97 mph) impressed.

Overnight rain and a damp start to the day thankfully cleared and conditions were dry all around the course, although delays meant it wasn’t until 1851 that the session got underway. Dean Harrison (DAO Racing Kawasaki) was first off quickly followed by Michael Rutter (Bathams Ales), Shaun Anderson (Crendon Suzuki by Hawk Racing), Brian McCormack (FHO Racing BMW/ The Roadhouse Macau) and Ian Hutchinson (Milwaukee BMW Motorrad).

All were Superbike mounted other than Anderson who’d opted for his Superstock mount, as had Davey Todd and James Hillier (RICH Energy OMG Racing) whilst Gary Johnson was out on his Supersport machine. Peter Hickman (Gas Monkey Garage by FHO Racing) stalled off the line but quickly got going with John McGuinness MBE (Honda Racing UK) one of the last seeds to go.

First back to the Grandstand was Harrison at 128.18 mph followed by Anderson (124.65 mph) and Rutter (124.14 mph), but Hickman was the quickest through all the sectors and he flashed across the line almost ten-seconds quicker than Harrison at 129.37 mph.

Second time around and just under three seconds covered Hickman, Harrison and Todd up to Ballaugh but as the lap progressed Hickman edged away and his second lap of 130.72 mph put him seven-seconds clear of Harrison (129.84 mph).

Todd, meanwhile, was only two-seconds slower than Harrison and his lap of 129.58 mph put him comfortably quickest in the Superstock category. Cummins (127.91 mph) was 13s back in second.

Supersport/SuperTwin

Hickman, Johnston and Dominic Herbertson were three of the leading contenders to switch to their Supersport mounts for their third lap but, unfortunately, an incident for Sam West at Laurel Bank brought out a red flag and the session to an end just before 8pm – the rider reported conscious with hand and leg injuries.

As solo riders were required to return to the Grandstand, the sidecar session was cancelled for today.
