We're already 2-3 race days into this week's festivities, which have been extended to include additional Supersport and Superstock races that will hopefully more opportunities to visit the isle. Saw most of practice, but missed the actual races. Gonna have to catch up on the action.

It seems like it's the Dunlop & Hickman show this year. Great conditions, great times on the partially resurfaced course.

Yep, and nothing much changed. It looks like the amazing weather made the strong get even stronger. Dunlop and Hickman ran the table. Harrison had a good TT, but couldn't break through.

Michael ends the TT one career win short of Joey. He's a shoo-in for the record if he just chooses the right outfit for Supersport next year. He can't be beaten if the bike is setup correctly, and it goes the distance. Hickman eclipsed Anstey, Hislop, and McCallen. Pete is closing in on Hailwood, the Birchalls, and Hutchinson. We'll see how he goes next year.

Overall, 2023 was a good TT, but the double race format made things a bit repetitive. It's better with lots of specialist classes because it produces an occasional oddball winner. We'll see what they come up with next year. Plenty of classes to chose from. Moto3 would make an amazing lightweight TT, if they can get the FIM's blessing and the teams can afford the equipment.
