Michael Dunlop continutes to rewrite the history books

MICHAEL Dunlop extended his record number of race wins at the Isle of Man TT to 29 with a double on Saturday.

The Ballymoney man claimed his 28th victory on Saturday afternoon when he won the Monster Energy Supersport TT Race 2 by just under four seconds, the MD Racing Yamaha rider taking his sixth successive Supersport win and 13th in total.

He saw off the challenge of Dean Harrison (Honda Racing UK) as Davey Todd (Powertoolmate Ducati) completed the podium in third.

Dunlop then took his second win of the day when he won the Entire Cover Supertwin TT Race 2, victory on the MD Racing Paton giving him his 29th TT win overall.

Peter Hickman (Swan Racing Yamaha) took second with Mike Browne (Scott Racing Aprilia) completing the podium in third.

The race was declared a result at the end of lap one and so Dunlop got the win from Hickman and Browne, Herbertson unluckily missing out in fourth. Jordan finished fifth ahead of Hodson, Todd, Brookes, McClean and Furber.
