Dean Harrison has come flying out of the blocks for TT 2026, clocking the quickest lap ever seen in an opening qualifying session.
His 133.925mph on his Honda Racing UK Superbike, laid down a marker for the Yorkshireman who moved to the island in 2024.
Michael Dunlop was the second quickest at 130.341mph, as Brookes (130.197) and Nathan Harrison (130.010) also broke the 130mph barrier.
Brookes, opting for his Superstock machine, topped the class’ leaderboard ahead of Peter Hickman (8TEN Racing BMW), the latter calling in to the pits to swap to his Superbike.
Dunlop also already looks on course to continue his dominance of the Supersport class after lapping at 126.922mph on his MD Racing Ducati, behind him Peter Hickman was second quickest and Ian Hutchinson third.
Mike Browne set the pace in the Sportbike class with a lap of 119.097mph on the Melbray/Laycock Racing Paton. That put him just over a second ahead of Jamie Coward, with Italian Andrea Majola impressing in third.
Coward went slightly quicker on his second lap at 119.199mph, but it was Paul Jordan who ended the session quickest overall with a lap of 120.208mph on his Aprilia.
In the sidecars, the Crowes remain the team to beat, lapping 118.224mph from a standing start, putting them clear of Peter Founds/Jevan Walmsley (113.553mph) and Ben Birchall/Mark Wilkes (112.969mph).
Both the other outfits were looking faster on their second laps, but the session was red flagged.
