Michael Dunlop claims all-time record 27th Isle of Man TT victory
Michael Dunlop claims his 𝓀27th Isle of Man TT victory, exceeding the record set🌳 by his late uncle Joey.
Michael Dunlop has broken the recorꦑd for the most wins at the Isle of Man TT.
Dunlop won the Supertwin Race 1 on Weꩵdnesday to claim a 27th victory at the legendary event.
He has finally overtaken the record of 26 wins set by his lꦛate ꦦuncle Joey, 24 years ago.
Dunlop emotionally equalled Joey’s record ♏in the first (﷽Supersport) race of this year’s TT, dedicating the feat to the icon who lost his life while motorcycle racing.
However, he was forced to wait to claim the outright record of 27 wins when, in൲ the opening Superbike race, he lost a lead of over 20 seconds due to a visor problem in his final pitstop.
But on 💛Wednesday there was no denying Dunlop his history-making 27th win.
Dunlop led from start to finish to take victory by 20.4 seconds fro🌌m Peter H🦹ickman (Yamaha) in a race-record time of 56 minutes 15.993 seconds.
Dominic Herbertson (Patoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn) claimed his maiden TT podium in third.
Dunlop was due to be back on tra✃ck for this afternoon's Superstock race❀, but bad weather means it has been postponed until Thursday.
Peter has been in the paddock for ꦯ20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s i༒njury issues.
