Dunlops reign supreme at Armoy Race of Legends

Michael and William Dunlop shared the spoils at yesterdays Armoy Race Of Legends Road races yesterday. The pair treated their home fans to the perfect results by winning the two superbike races the Supersport Race and the 250 race between them, sharing a total of 6 podium spots.

It was William who struck first by winning the Supersport Race. Guy Martin set the early pace with a lightning start but by the 3rd lap William had closed in and took to the front closely followed by his younger brother who quickly closed the gap but his charge was to late and they crossed the line just 0.6 seconds apart. William also won the 250 race from Sam Wilson and Michael Sweeney.

In the first superbike race again it was Guy Martin who got the perfect start and led off the line but by half way Michael made up the lost ground and passed Martin before opening a 5 second gap at the flag who was followed in by Derek Sheils.

Michael Dunlop also set a new outright lap record for the circuit at106.015mph.
