2013 Ulster GP: 'We proved our pace' - William Dunlop

Milwaukee Yamaha's William Dunlop managed his first international roads win at the Ulster Grand Prix and backed it up with a second in the final Superbike race, proving, he says, they have winning pace.

Dunlop was involved in a thriller with HM Plant Honda's Bruce Anstey in the second Supersport race which saw him go past the New Zealander through the final turn and take victory by 0.073s after 21 minutes of action.

“Missing out on a certain second place in the second Superbike race is disappointing but I’m delighted with the Supersport win after a tough race with Bruce. Normally if you lead into the hairpin on the last lap you win the race, but fair play to Bruce he came back past me. I was riding so hard and it could have gone either way but I squeezed him into the last corner and we got the win," said Dunlop.

"A podium in the Superbike race proves the progress we have made on the big bike. I made a little mistake and lost the tow on Michael and Guy, but we proved we have the pace, although seven laps around here on a Superbike is tough going. Thanks to the Milwaukee Yamaha guys for putting in a such a big effort; I can’t thank Shaun, Dale and the rest of the team enough for today.”
