'Respect' for Dunlop after TT triple

Tuesday, 4 June 2013 00:00

Michael Dunlop says he thinks he's starting to get respect after his third TT win of TT 2013.

Yesterday the Ballymoney man did the double - winning both the Supersport and Superstock races in the same day.

He also took the top spot in Sunday's Superbike event.

Riding his Honda Fireblade in the Superstock he beat second place Gary Johnson by 16 seconds with John McGuinness taking the third spot 30 seconds behind Johnson.

In the race Dunlop also set a new lap record of just over 131 miles per hour.

He says it was a great result:
