TT 2017: Wednesday Practice Wrap Up

Supersport:

Despite only completing one timed lap, Lee Johnston’s lap speed of 122.16, was enough to elevate him to the top of the Supersport practice leader board.

New to the Padgetts Racing stable, General Lee is already looking a dark horse for race winning challenges in the Monster Energy Supersport races.

Whilst McAdoo Kawasaki’s James Cowton (118.294) second fastest, was in excellent form, the likes of Sam West (113.848), Matt Rees (112.484) and Joe Akroyd where all within the higher echelons of the time sheets.

As was Senior Manx GP winner Tom Weeden, clocking a lap speed in excess of 110 mph, on the Taylor Lindsey Racing CBR 600 Honda.

Adam McLean lead the newcomers brigade, whilst fellow TT debutant Paul Jordan, sealed a new personal best lap speed of 104.719 mph.

Closely matched via lap speeds of 125.188 and 124.9, there was nothing in it between two riders, who at present have between them, four international road race victories.

Dafabet Devitt Racing’s Steve Mercer (123.98) and two times Lightweight TT champion Ivan Lintin (123.396) finished third and fourth quickest, Dan Cooper was close to clocking a 120 mph lap and Michael Sweeney (119.076) solid start to TT 2017 continues.

As already stated riders gained no more than 1 lap tonight in a practice session, which was originally first stopped following an incident involving Dave Sellers, who was ok following a tumble at the Gooseneck.
