Hutchinson won two of his three TT titles in 2009

Ian Hutchinson completed a hugely impressive TT practice week on Friday with the fastest lap of the week.

The Yorkshire rider twice lapped the Mountain Course at over 130mph in the final practice session with his quickest lap a 130.614mph.

"This week has gone really well but to win I will need to stick six of these laps together because there are a lot of people capable of winning," he said.

The Padgetts Honda rider topped four of the five timed sessions.

John McGuinness, the 15-time winner, was the only other man to achieve a 130 mph lap.

Manxman Conor Cummins, Adrian Archibald and Guy Martin have all lapped at over 129mph this week.

Northern Ireland's Michael Dunlop tops both the Supersport and Superstock leader board.

Dave Molyneux and Patrick Farrance top the sidecar speed charts.

The Superbike race is scheduled to start at 1200 BST on Saturday with the first Sidecar race scheduled for 1500 BST.
