Josh Brookes is beaming from ear-to-ear as the most-famous 37.73-miles of racing tarmac is finally coming together for him following a blistering lap of 124.476mph earlier today.
Tomorrow’s six-lap Dainese Superbike TT gets underway at 2.15pm and the level of positivity coming out of the Tyco Suzuki camp is at an all-time high, as the clock counts down to the opening race of this year’s Isle of Man TT F.
Team-mate Guy Martin described his GSX-R1000 Superbike as the best he’s ever ridden around the TT Circuit.
It sets the team up well for tomorrow’s races. Martin is fifth-fastest in the Superbike class with a lap of 128.680mph recorded in today’s session, with Brookes 15th overall and the fastest newcomer on 124.476mph.

“I’m really starting to enjoy it as the laps are coming together now that I’ve completed about 15 or so. There’s so much more to come, but I’m finding my rhythm and I’m super-happy on the Superbike. I’ve been watching onboard laps and Guy has given me loads of advice and encouragement and I’m really grateful to him for that. I’m in the happy zone at this point and if I don’t go any quicker now, I’ll just accept that I’m not ready for it yet.”
Team Manager, Phil Neill said: “Josh’s 124mph lap was fantastic, although maybe a little bit faster than I expected from him at this stage, but he’s building it up and progressing well. He’s doing it smoothly and putting the work in so he should have a good run tomorrow.”
