The top 10 start list for the 2023 Isle of Man TT Sidecar races has been published, with Ben and Tom Birchall leading the three-wheelers away.
Sidecars are undoubtedly one of the most intriguing classes at the TT, mostly because they distinguish themselves from the other classes in fairly obvious ways: a passenger, and a third wheel.
In the start list for the 2023 Isle of Man Sidecar TT races, Ben and Tom Birchall will open the road on their Steadplan/Hager LCR Honda. Two more LCR Hondas will follow behind them, firstly with Peter Founds and Jevan Walmsley for FHO Motorsport, and secondly with Ryan and Callum Crowe on their Haven Homes-sponsored machine.
Fourth away will be Dave Molyneux and Dan Sayle on the DMR KTM, before Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes on the Bonovo Action Carl Cox Motorsport LCR Yamaha.
Rounding out the top six are John Holden and Maxime Vasseur on their Barnes Racing & Carl Cox Motorsport LCR Yamaha; ahead of Alan Founds and Jake Lowther and their Spartan Automotive/Indelible Ink Tattoo LCR Yamaha.
Gary Bryan and Philip Hyde will go from the eighth position with their SWC Groundworks/TTS Support Baker Honda; while the top 10 is rounded out by Lee Crawford and an as yet unnamed passenger on the Team ARC Marin Motorsport LCR Suzuki, and finally Conrad Harrison and Andrew Winkle for Town Garage Ireson Yamaha.
