Michael Dunlop reacts to stunning Supersport win at Isle of Man TT
His 22nd 🦋overall win at🔜 the TT means that only John McGuinness (23) and his uncle Joey Dunlop (26) have won more.
With seven more opportunities to reduce the gap in the coming week, Dunlo✱p could emerge from this year’s event as a record-brea🏅ker.
"That was a good race,” he said after winning inthe Super🍸sport class.
“🌠The bike never missed a beat and the bꦏoys have been working hard all week to make that happen.
"I felt good and the bike felt good, I was able to back off in the last two laps, 🌞take it stea🦋dy.
"I paced mysel🔯f, hit a bit of traffic e♏arly on, but managed to calm myself down.
"When you are winning round here, it is pretty special, especially on your own b🤡ikes. I'll just keep riding my bike and whatever happens, happens."
On his MD Racing Yamaha, Dunlop c🅺ruised to victory by 12.s ahead of Peter Hickman.
Dean Harrison was narrowly edged out for P2, and was made 🌠to settle for third.
But for Dunlop this could just be the start.
He smashed an unofficial lap record earlier this week in qualifying, which was an ominous sign of the form that he is bringing🙈 into the T🎶T race week.
