BMW’s Michael Dunlop took two wins at the North West 200 yesterday with victory in the Superstock and main Superbike races on a bike which made its roads debut on Tuesday.

The Ballymoney man also picked up the Robert Dunlop Man of the Meeting trophy for his efforts after holding off a challenge from Josh Brookes in the last race of the day.

“I knew I could do it! In my head I was thinking "alright, let's have it lads". The BMW is just beautiful to ride, it's class and I love it. These are brand new bikes, I only saw the Superbike for the first time this Tuesday! The bike is fantastic, the Metzeler tyres were working a dream at the end of that race and we were right on the pace off the line,” said Dunlop.

“I’m so happy to have won two races - the main Superbike race was the one to win. Getting the 'Robert Dunlop Man of the Meeting' award is the icing on the cake. At the back of my mind I was thinking, ‘It's my dad's trophy, I want that, I want it!’ - and I got it. I can't say enough good stuff about the motorbike and the team.”
