The Ballymoney rider claimed his 27th TT win on Wednesday to become the most successful rider in the event's history
Michael Dunlop was quick to play down any hype or fanfare after becoming the most successful rider in Isle of Man TT history on Wednesday.
Michael equalled that on Saturday with victory in the Supersports, and should have made it 27 on Sunday only for a visor issue to cruelly cost him victory in the Superbikes. But he wouldn't be denied on Wednesday as his Paton dominated the Supertwins. Michael said: "I have always said, I will never be modelled against Joey and I don't expect to be. And I don't want to be. Joey was a special talent.
Dunlop led from start to finish in Wednesday's Supertwins, witn his Paton S1-R machine never missing a beat. He opened up a 10-second lead after the first lap, and extended that to 12 seconds at the end of the second lap.Dunlop added: "It's tough because it should have been 28 wins today. There was sheer disappointment from Sunday, I wanted to make up for it today.
