Who will be the first 20 starters for the two Monster Energy Supersport TT Races at this year's Isle of Man TT?
The Supersport TT will get the race programme underway on Saturday, 31st May, and it’s the first class to have the top twenty riders revealed.
Paul Jordan will again have the honour of getting the event underway, for the second year in a row. Last year, Jordan finished he’ll be on board the Jackson Racing powered by Prosper2 Honda.
David Johnson will set off ten seconds after Jordan, and right after Johnson will be Honda Racing UK rider Dean Harrison, who will be eyeing up a place on the rostrum.
Jamie Coward will set off in fourth place on the factory-backed KTS Macadam Triumph Factory Racing machine.
If he can sort a ride for the Supersport TT, then James Hillier will start from fifth. He is currently listed as TBC after WTF Racing's withdrawal.
Setting off from his usual number six slot will be Michael Dunlop. However, he has not been listed on his trusty Yamaha, instead he will begin Practice week on a Ducati.
Josh Brookes will line up at number seven on the second Jackson Racing powered by Prosper2 Honda.
Starting from eighth will be Davey Todd on a Milenco by Padgetts Racing Honda.
At number nine is Mike Browne on the sole Boyce Precision Engineering by Russell Racing Yamaha entrant.
Then, it’s another of the 765cc Triumph’s, this time in the hands of Peter Hickman with his own Trooper Triumph by PHR Performance team.
Next to go at 11 and 12 will be Conor Cummins on the Burrows Engineering/RK Racing Ducati and Ian Hutchinson on the MLav Racing Ducati.
The number 13 plate has been taken by Dominic Herbertson, who, like Hillier, is awaiting news of a new ride.
Behind Herbertson is Craig Neve, the Bathams AJN Racing rider on a Triumph, with Rob Hodson (SMT / VRS Recovery Yamaha) and James Hind (North Lincs Components Suzuki) next to go at numbers 15 and 16.
Shaun Anderson (Butterfields of Skipton Suzuki) starts at 17, and rounding out the top twenty are a trio of rapid Manxmen – Michael Evans, ninth and tenth last year on the Smith Racing Triumph, Nathan Harrison (H&H Motorcycles Honda) and Ryan Cringle (Parker Car Transport Racing Yamaha).
