Dunlop Shines With 115mph Lap

The fourth Manx Grand Prix practice session took place last night in perfect conditions with the riders recording their fastest times of the week.

Michael Dunlop and Olie Linsdell were the men to watch with Dunlop getting a 115mph lap.

Despite the perfect conditions a sunlight warning had to be issued from Ballagarey to Ballacraine.

Peter Simpson came off his bike at the 11th Milestone, but was reported as unhurt.

As it stands it’s looking like it will be another good night for practising tonight.
