Conditions were dry and cool as the riders ran into the evening. There was no wind anywhere on the course which many riders described as the perfect conditions. Peter Hickman (FHO Racing BMW) lapped an average 132.079mph on his FHO Racing BMW Superbike beating out the top man from yesterday’s qualifying, Michael Dunlop. On Day 1 Dunlop topped all 4 single rider classes in the session but today he fell short in Superbike. Hickman has turned heads thus far this weekend given him breaking the top speed record yesterday at 200mph and they running overall fastest today. In addition, this was Hickman’s debut on a superbike which was an impressive showing. With Dunlop as the favorite Hickman will be focused on perfecting his race strategy in the coming qualifying sessions this week.

Michael Dunlop topped the superstock qualifying 2 setting a best lap time of 17:10.224. This lap was 45.369s faster than second fastest Joshua Brookes (FHO Racing) and 49.138s faster than third place finisher Shaun Anderson (Team Classic Suzuki).
