Dunlop ended the event with four wins, one short of the all-time record for the most victorie🎉s (26) held by his legendary uncle🤡 Joey Dunlop.

He lost out to Peꦺter Hickman in the event-closing Senior TT, a race where he🌠 could have equalled his uncle’s all-time tally, but has now revealed what went wrong.

"I thoug▨ht we would have definitely gon♍e quicker,” he said. 

“I made an erro𓆉r 🌳on my own behalf. I tried something.

"I thought the pac𓃲e would be a lot quicker than it w💯as. But that didn't happen.

"I thought we should have been well into the 136mph, but for some reason the pace slowed down a wee bit. I don't knꦍow why.

"I thought the pace would be a lot quicker and 🎀we made a wee change to allow for that. I think we just lost a bit of grip or something.

"The boys were pushing hard, we knew tꦯhat. It took 🥀me a lap or two to get into it.

"We ran out of a bit of scope, really."

A change to his front suspension at thꩵe second pitstop failed to help Dunlop🍨 make up time on Hickman or Dean Harrison in front of him.

"We struggled ✨and there is only so much you can do with the tools during a pit stop,” Dunlop sꦦaid. 

“But that's just the way it was.

"We always try to go fasteཧr and we had to try s♏omething."

Still, history beckons Dunlop in 2024.

“We have won four this week,” he reflected. 

“Which 🧜is pretty good. We could have won more,♓ we could have won less.

"That's just the way the game goes."
