Hutchy sets the pace!
The Superstocks seemed to steel the show as riders took to the Mountain course for qualifying on Friday evening.
Ian Hutchinson led the way - after retiring early from his Superbike qualifying - with Michael Rutter, Dean Harrison and Peter Hickman breathing down his neck.
Hutchy registered the fastest lap in all classes on the night, with a blistering 129.54mph around the famous circuit.
Rutter, Harrison and Hickman were all above the 128mph mark but none could better the Bingley Bullet's superb effort around the Mountain course.
