Isle of Man TT Superbike race has started!
Six-lap race with history at stake...
Michael Dunlop broke the unofficial record in qualifying earlier this week with a 135.531mph lap on the Hawk Racing Honda.
Can he repeat it?
He has already claimed his 22nd TT win this year.
Today could be a 23rd, drawing him level with John McGuinness' tally.
It would edge him closer to uncle Joey Dunlop's record of 26.
Isle of Man! This is absolutely insane. Giving all my respect to the 2-wheel world out here at @ttracesofficial with @MonsterEnergy. #TT2023pic.twitter.com/gxKJhQE4sj
