Tyco Suzuki's Guy Martin bagged his seventh Isle of Man runner-up trophy in yesterday's Dainese Superbike TT but was oushed hard by a flying Conor Cummins on the last lap.
Martin wasn't able to match the pace of Michael Dunlop, who went on to win after breaking the outright lap record on laps one and two, but had enough in reserve to fend off Cummins' last lap charge.
“That was a good effort and I really enjoyed it but I suppose it’s another second place. The bike never missed a beat and the boys did a mega job today, but I have to take my hat off to Michael [Dunlop] as he’s riding well," said Martin.
"I knew Conor was catching me on the final lap and I actually thought I might have to re-pass Michael on the road and make an extra big effort, but I right enjoyed that. It’s not even dinner time yet, so I suppose we can go do a day’s work now!”
