Michael Dunlop también gana las carreras de Superstock y Supersport 1
Por Alfonso Somoza
Después de ganar ayer la carrera de Superbike por primera vez en su vida,
Michael Dunlop(Honda MD Racing) ha seguido ejerciendo su dominio en en el Tourist Trophy de este año
ganado las carreras de Supersport 1 y Superstock disputadas hoy en la Isla de Man.
En la primera cita del día, la de Supersport, Michael
ha dominado con claridad de principio a fin, en una categoría que siempre se le ha dado bien (acumula 3 victorias en Supersport desde su debut). El piloto nacido en Ballymoney ha sido 10 segundos más rápido que
Bruce Anstey (HM Plant Honda by Padgetts), que estaba en baja forma por una gripe reciente.
El hermano mayor de Michael,
William Dunlop (Milwaukee Yamaha), ha terminado tercero en esta carrera de Supersport, seguido por un
John McGuinness (HM Plant Honda) que de momento mantiene los 19 triunfos en el TT a la espera de poder sumar alguno más en las carreras que restan.
Pasadas las 14:00h de la tarde
los pilotos de Superstock empezaban a pasar por debajo del arco de salida para dar comienzo a la segunda carrera del día.
Gary Johnson (Kawasaki Lincs Lifting) arrancaba con fuerza y se situaba al frente de la clasificación con una escasa ventaja sobre Michael Dunlop (Honda MD Racing). La cosa se mantuvo así hasta la cuarta y última vuela, cuando Johnson
empezó a sufrir problemas mecánicos y se vio obligado a bajar el ritmo.
A partir de ese momento, Dunlop empezó a remontar y terminó cruzando la línea de meta primero con 16 segundos de ventaja sobre Johnson, registrando además
una espectacular media de 131.220mph en este giro final, muy cerca del récord marcado por McGuinnes en la carrera de Superbike del domingo (131.67 mph), que
ha completado el podio de Superstock.
Con esta última victoria Michael Dunlop acumula ya
seis triunfos en la Isla de Man, superando las cinco victorias logradas aquí por su padre Robert Dunlop.
La acción regresa a la Isla de Man el próximo miércoles
a partir de las 10:45h con la carrera del TT Zero. A continuación, a las 12:00h, arrancará la segunda carrera de Supersport, y a las 14:15h la de Sidecars.
