North West 200: Ian Hutchinson forced to forfeit Superstock times following Tuesday qualifying

Ian Hutchinson had to forfeit his Superstock times from Tuesday's North West 200 qualifying session after his bike was found to be using non-compliant fuel.

Three-time winner Hutchinson was 11th fastest in practice at 117.97mph.

But a statement issued after Tuesday's session said organisers of the event "stipulate the use of a control fuel only in each machine".

Hutchinson - riding for Honda Racing - is still able to qualify on Thursday if he completes the required number of laps.

Speeds and lap times from Tuesday and Thursday's practice determine grid positions for the two Superstock races.
