​A revamped schedule for the 2023 Isle of Man TT includes an additional Superstock and Supertwin race in an expansion of the race programme.

The blue riband Senior TT will also be held on a Saturday for the first time after being moved from its traditional Friday slot, while the festival will get under way with the first Supersport race on Saturday, June 3 instead of the usual Superbike TT, which will instead run on Sunday, June 4.

Practice week begins on Monday, May 29 on the Isle of Man with a daytime session and continues each evening from 6.30pm until Friday, June 2 when a further daytime qualifying session will be run from 1pm to give competitors more time in between the conclusion of practice and the first races on Saturday.

The two extra solo races this year will increase the prospects of Ian Hutchinson’s record five-wins-in-a-week feat from 2010 being equalled or even surpassed.
