TT 2023 Supertwin Top 20 revealed

Herbertson first on the road in class this year

The running order for the Top-20 seeded riders in the Supertwin class for TT 2023 have been announced this afternoon (11 April).

Dominic Herbertson will be the first out on the road this year with Michael Rutter and Paul Jordan at no.2 and no.3 respectively.

Elsewhere in the running order, Michael Dunlop keeps the no.6 plate whilst last year's Supertwin winner, Peter Hickman, also keeps his spot at no.10.

Last year's surprise package, Pierre-Yves Bian - who took fourth position in the 2022 contest - moves into no.8.

TT debutant, Francesco Curinga, slots in at no.12, whilst Frenchman Xavier Denis - who posted an impressive tenth place last year in this category - joins the seeded spots for the first time at no.18.

The new ten-race format to be introduced in 2023 means there will now be two Supertwin races compared to a single contest in 2022.
