Ulster Grand Prix - Part 1 Bikes!

Just outside Belfast and a stone's throw from the city of Lisburn is

the venue for one of the world's most thrilling sporting events -

the Ulster Grand Prix, staged on the fastest motorcycle road racing

Well that was last year. Sadly the weather not quite as nice for the

2011 Ulster Grand Prix. But at least it is starting dry. Even if

the circuit is a little damp. Welcome to the first of two hour-

long road racing specials. For most of the year the track is seven and

a half mile of normal public roads. But each summer they're closed for

some of the most exciting bike racing you're ever likely to see.

The first lap trying to push through and come out at the front.

Down through the fast left/right. Down to Leathemstown. You're

heading up to Deer's Leap, a real fast section. Just fifth gear and

hope for the best. A got wheelie down here. And then another big

wheelie. Now we head into Cochranstown. Third gear right-

hander. Head up for Ireland's. Always damp below Ireland's. Then

through Joey's and not fast 190mph section. Into a fast right hand

bend at the top of the hill. Then to Wheeler's and back to third. A

real good ride. The last lap is hard work. Into Lindsay's hairpin,

get it in, square it and don't let anybody pass. We head up to the

Quarries. A fast left right, real fast through year. You have to

watch the bad bump in the middle of it. Head for Dawson's bend. A real

fast right-hander. Down into a low left. And that is my winning lap!

Well Philip, what way is the weather going to affect the riders'

thinking? I won't affect them just as much for this race, the

Superstock race, as for the Superbike race. This rides on road

tyres. So it is going to make them thing. But there is a bit of trod

clear the water. They haveed that lap and seen the damp patches and

the like of Michael will have it worked out. Michael Dunlop is in

pole position. A nephew of the great Joey Dunlop, the most

successful rider around this circuit. 48 times he won. Can you

see Michael getting his first win here, or could it be his brother,

William, who is also on the first row? William is a smooth rider and

the damp conditions won't put him off. We have got a lot of other

guys. Bruce Anstey is a specialist rider and Ryan Farquhar. But Ryan

starts at the back of the grid. He will be coming through strong.

Thank you. Time to join our commentary time. Richard Nicolls

and David Moore. COMMENTATOR: The Ulster Grand Prix is about to start.

Look at this grid. Philip and Steven have been talking about a

couple of people, but there is a wealth of raiders, whose names

excite me when it is time to go racing. -- wealth of riders. We

have iffy conditions and the promise of the unknown. It is all

going to become known now. Sick laps of Dundrod -- six laps of the

Dundrod circuit. Look who there, Guy Martin, he is hungry for it.

William's here and he has won it before. Bruce Anstey has something

to prove. Those at the back, like John McGuinness. Here we go though.

The Ulster Grand Prix for 2011 bursts into life and Michael Dunlop

burst behind Guy Martin who springs into the lead. Down The Kilo

heading to the first corners. And Guy Martin got the best start.

William coming up the inside. Perfect from William Dunlop.Less in

first place I -- he is in first place ahead of the other rider. The

first time time we're on board with Keith Amor. Ryan Farquhar goes

through as well. He is supermean on a Superstock. This is super quick.

This is one of the most extraordinary corners in motor

sport at Deer's Leap. Over the top, the view and down the hill and

William Dunlop has got it across him. What about Guy Martin, first

off the line and this is what the Ulster Grand Prix is about. He

could now be in fifth. We're looking at William Dunlop and

Michael Dunlop behind him. William Dunlop leads for the first time and

we have seven riders, all at the front. And a move perhaps. Michael

Dunlop's second position is under threat. It has gone. Bruce Anstey

is through. But as we have seen, anything can happen between now and

the end, as Gary Johnston goes through. Where did he arrive from?

We're on the way to ierdz corner. We're on board with Ian Lougher.

And behind him is Ryan Farquhar. Thits battle -- this battle could

go all the way. A great start for Ian Lougher. But Gary Johnston,

that bike is Steve Plater's bike from last year. And Gary Johnston

is pushing it. You can't see much from there. This is a better view,

Ian Lougher shaping up for the pass. Out on the draft and alongside. Did

he make it stick? Still foggy. Conditions are still suspect.

is the highest part of the Dundrod circuit. They're looking behind to

see what is going on. Look at the road. Wet patches around the side.

William Dunlop getting in side ways. You was saying it was dry down the

middle and it turned out not to be. William Dunlop almost play paid the

price. Oh no! Michael Dunlop? What was that? That was second place.

And Gary Johnston is doing the best thing and braking away. You get

entangled in the pack and then you can run away with it. Gary Johnston

has yet to win at the Ulster Grand Prix as well. The pack behind,

never was there a more apt description. That is a pack and

they still changing places. The draft works here. We hear about the

slip stream at the north-west. There is slip streaming here at the

Ulster a well. If you get a toe, you can make up a couple of places.

Gary onstpon has a hoard, not a pack, behind him. -- Gary Johnston.

It is like a horse race, they are all swapping positions. See how wet

it is too across the start line. We're on board with Keith Amor. He

loses the position. He has got to get up the inside into the turn.

And Martin hold off Farquhar. Wow! I just got my breath back from that

Amaiing -- amazing moment that Michael Dunlop gave us. He has so

much confidence on the brakes and I wonder whether he can do that again

and if I was Gary Johnston, I would be wondering it do. If I was Gary

Johnson I would make sure I don't drop the clutches. He looks to see

where they are. The answer is right behind you. Guy Martin getting a

toe and Ryan Farquhar. William don lop dropping back. -- Dunlop

dropping back. These are the potential race-winners. Farquhar

looking to make a move on Martin. Ryan Farquhar was leaning on Guy

Martin's should irand has got past him now as they make the --

shoulder and has got past him now as they make the turn. That was

fine work from Farquhar. He is very much on form. Down to Ireland's we

go. William Dunlop is closing and Ian Lougher as well. It is the

drive out of the turn this a important. William Dunlop catching

up on the man in fours. It is a bit wet. You have to take it steady.

The wind will be drying the track. That is Michael Dunlop and Ryan

Farquhar. We are back with the bike of Keith Amor. You get this toe and

that is it, job done. Bruce Anstey goes past, he goes past Bruce

Anstey I should say. This is Wheeler's. And they led down.

Johnson has lost it. Where did Dunlop quet -- get him. He got that

one wrong last time. Plenty of contact patches between his tyre

and the surface. Hoor they go into the Lindsay her pain. -- hairpin.

Donald is going straight on. But look where has Cameron Donald come

from? He was not with the front pack and now he is on a charge.

We're on board with Ian Lougher. Clear road behind him. He is in the

battle for the top five places. will be desperate to make that

position up to particular tin in fourth. Haar tin looks as if --

Martin in pourt. -- place. He is under pressure. Oh Farquhar's got a

problem. That was, that happened instantly. He was at race speed.

was losing ground and almost as if, well who knows? Here they go. Tr is

-- there is William Dunlop. Farquhar into the pits. That is

such a disappointment. He was riding well. There is Ryan Farquhar.

What are they looking at? The front end? He was looking at the tyre.

Here is Michael Dunlop with Gary Johnson and then the big gap back

to the new fifth place. We're looking at Michael Dunlop who has

not won an unUlster -- an Ulster grand pee. Gary Johnson trying to

close in on the race leader and he is. Yes, but you have got to, Gary,

everyone talks about Michael Dunlop and when will he win, Gary Johnson,

how well is he go? Look at Guy Martin closing in. Ian Lougher

incentive because Gary Johnson has lost momentum. By Martin through,

and second?. Now, at his target Michael Dunlop whose targeting that

first victory. Their egos. He got it right this time, he is solely on

the brakes! He is super-smooth carrying speed around the corners.

Chucking it in, slamming on the brakes. He is tidier than he has

been but there is a monkey on his back that he is trying to get rid

of. Not good for Kerry Johnson. That is a monkey on his back. He

just swept past him in the hairpin. He has made that mistake. He has

dropped back and lost his momentum. You can see what that means.

Michael Dunlop jocks of another lap. The Ian Lougher in third place,

fantastic for him, but Guy Martin closing in on Michael Dunlop.

have seen this several times between Michael Dunlop and Guy

Martin. It has always gone the way of Michael Dunlop in the races we

have watched this year. But I would not like to bet on it at the moment

because a guy Martin is close enough to do something about it.

did get ahead of Michael Dunlop won that one occasion. He is looking to

drop him, a second time. What we have seen before is that Michael

Dunlop has tidied up his riding no end and that guy Martin is the one

who has been getting scrappy. Cameron Donald there on the back of

that group, and Guy Martin on the back. And you can see once again,

Guy Martin is riding the front end of that bike as fast as he knows

how. It will not go any faster. seems to have a straighter line on

the road. Michael using the road from left to right across the road.

Guy Martin is trying to keep more straight-line speed. Michael's

weakest part of the course and die Martin has spotted that. He has had

problems getting that bit right, at speed. Coming out, braking on the

open. He is on the wrong side as well. Michael is up in nicely, into

the second. -- the hairpin. He it is increasingly Michael Dunlop does

as Guy Martin. There is a huge gap behind them in the Ulster Grand

Prix at the moment. Just a rear view there, didn't catch it. Trying

to catch a glimpse of this. Guy Martin is shaping up to do it again.

Ian Lougher is a very distant third, and Gary Johnson is still hanging

on. And the front wheel of Michael Dunlop was six feet off the ground!

He needs to keep up contact patch with the road. They were looking at

the front two yet again. Guy Martin continues to close in. He is going

to try to get him this time. New race leader, but can Michael Dunlop

get him? So straight away. There is no one else to worry about. It is a

big heart that goes through here. This is the wettest part of the

course. Plenty of trees are worried. That will help drive the track. --

trees or bread. -- overhead. That was a perfect shot - it shows you

exactly what the Dunlop's circuit is all about. Michael Dunlop just

moving across and closing the door on him. Along this circuit, it

carries so much speed. As you said earlier this week this is where you

see the big bikes at full stretch. You do not see it anywhere else

except on circuits like this. Martin going past, Michael Dunlop,

heading into the turn, side by side, and Guy Martin has got him. He

seems to have a little bit more power, perhaps. Was he just riding

that little bit more smoothly than Michael Dunlop? It is like the

Melbourne loop, this. Almost lost the back end. Michael Dunlop surely

must be able to get the drive on in now. He left a big, black line

behind him, Guy Martin. He is fighting now for that third-place

match. It was the hairpin that cost him. Were it at the speed from die

Martin on the Suzuki there, going down through quarries bend. Whose

are going to be? It is between these two. A last lap flag goes out.

They have been going at it like it was the last lapses this race

began! -- lapped since this race began. I think we're going to see a

few more passes, before this race is through. If Michael Dunlop

doesn't get the power right out of the tarmac, he could allow Guy

Martin to overtake. But if the get it right it could be game over.

Michael Dunlop seems to be on the case, so, too, Guy Martin. I wonder

if Guy Martin has made his best ever, and thought, well, that was

it. He and that is exactly what we want in this sport. He is close

enough at the moment. You can talk about tactics. I'm sure they will

be thinking about tactics, but how can you think tactics at 190 miles

an hour? But Michael Dunlop knows he has got to get rid of Guy Martin.

And Gary Johnson is out of his seat! Through the spectators. They

do not need any more waving on, any more applause, but the spectators

are close enough to pack their own the back never mind to wave them on.

Unless a Michael Doug blow -- Michael Dunlop out-brakes and

Sylvia, it is his race. -- out- brakes himself, there, it is his

race. And there something dramatic happens between now and the

chequered flag. The he has had enough dramatic happenings already.

There is no chance of a comeback now. Michael Dunlop was going to

win the first race at Dundrod. And his first Ulster Grand Prix victory.

Plenty of talk about it before the start of this weekend. Well, it is

time for the talking to stop. Michael Dunlop is going to win the

Superstock Race. There is going to be a massive cheer when he crosses

the line. Michael Dunlop wins! Guy Martin second. What a race!

what the result. Gary Johnson excellent in third place. Ian

Lougher in 4th. Keith Amor and 5th. Congratulations, you first Ulster

Grand Prix win. How did that feel? It was a long time coming. It was

the right choice and tyres and the bike was awesome, I can thank the

team enough, they did a tremendous job. I have got it now. Michael

Dunlop soaks up the applause. A handshake from the mayor of Lisburn.

His first ever Ulster Grand Prix His first ever Ulster Grand Prix

His first ever Ulster Grand Prix victory. One reader who has been

coming to the Ulster Grand Prix for a long theme is Ian Lougher, the

rules when. He has 16 Ulster Grand Prix degrees to his name. He -- the

Welshman. He and he's done it again. Ian Lougher postop Ian Lougher,

into the lead, and he has snatched it. This is where number 16. -- win.

Have a look at this CV. He might be a senior citizen of the racing

world, and this is why. 99 say it was something of a strange one

because the Honda that I was riding, it had been stolen. It was missing

for three weeks. And it arrived back five days before I came over

here and I won my first Ulster Grand Prix on it. He is first ever

Ulster Grand Prix win. And when you have had so many more, it must be

hard to pick a winner. 2002. The 600 race, as well. I had a

fantastic day. Eyeball never forget it. He will never be allowed to

forget it because there is a corner named after him. The that is

fantastic. Any time you go through there are now, you think, what a

plonker you would be if you fall off on it! He Ian Lougher will be

open to roll back the years. He is in pole position for the 250cc race

been run alongside the support when machines. Ian Lougher hoping for

another, 37th podium at the circuit. He probably gets fed up with people

talking about him rolling back the years but he has been at this game

a long time and if expedience days for anything, it thence in these

conditions. When Hamilton on the support whens has beaten this man,

Ryan Farquhar, this week. The 250s and the Super twins. The 250s,

number 18. Ian Lougher got an even better start than came flying

through. Three abreast. David Morgan as the man with the pink

helmet. It is leader a man who has caught the weed. -- it is Lee

Vernon. He has got the lead. Look to see how much drier the circuit

looks. Wet patches all round, so you have got to keep your wits

about you. Be it was very wet on the start line. Have a look at this

as the Super twins get away. This is where we're going to see the

super speed of that 250. It is the bionic bite. It is made of brass or

all different factory machinery. And Baby Morgan, and there place.

Not any more, he is a printer De place now. A cracking start by

David Morgan. And Ian Lougher as long as it all stays together,

should take this. I like 250s as well as 600s. There are the front

four. John Borrows and Aidan Archibald scrapping of squabbling

well worth of place. They it is looking like a two-horse race at

the front. There is Ian Lougher away, number one. Look at this. It

is a little bit, it could get very saucy, this one. David Morgan in

there, as well. 29, Paul Robinson, is behind leave her alone. -- Lee

Vernon. This group are struggling to stay with Ian Lougher, who has

vanished. Ryan Farr Clarke is doing exactly that. -- Rhein Fire Choir -

- Ryan Farquhar. Someone else has come to jointly run it. It is going

to be a five-way fight. - to join leader and an -- Lee Vernon.

race leader, into the hairpin. at the Gap, back to second place.

disappearing act. I think we have got a race plan for these guys.

They're going to be chopping and swapping and changing positions all

the way, if they stick together. Look at wet it is. You can see

glimpses of a dry line. But they're going from wet to dry and back

again. Ian Lougher in charge of this. And rightly so. The bike is

head and shoulders above the rest. No disrespect to the others. So

difficult to get parts for these 250s now. These are some of the

supertwins coming across the line. Three aBrest -- abreast over there.

It is definitely drying out now. Lee Vernon on bike 18. Davey Morgan

trying to get involved. Ryan Farquhar and Wayne Hamilton are on

the back of the 250s. That is Farquhar, who goes up the inside.

He goes past Paul Owen. This is going to be tasty. They probably

won't be expecting Farquhar and Hamilton. Davey Moore knows he is

coming. You have two races in one. He must have felt the ground shake

as the supertwins come alongside him. And think that is not a 250.

They have got to be carele and pick their moments. Ryan Farquhar

getting close. This is good for Farquhar, he is picking them off

and Hamilton knows he can't let Farquhar go, if Farquhar makes the

break, it could be game over for Wayne Hamilton. Oh he is down.

Wayne Hamilton is down. Slides out. Wow. It was wet there. You can see

the wet and dry lines. He just tipped away and that was it. Game

over. Ryan Farquhar doesn't have opposition. But he still has got

250s to play with. Ryan Farquhar has just got Ian Lougher, or maybe

not. We don't believe it either. Where is he getting this from?

Farquhar's got the power in his lead. I think he just has eep

Lougher ahead of him -- Ian Lougher ahead of him. That was one of the

mosts -- moments of the Grand Prix. You could see the expression on his

face - what? I don't know whether Ian Lougher is expecting Farquhar

to be drawing alongside. Lougher doesn't want to do anything stupid.

He doesn't want the hit a wet patch at the wrong speed and drop the

machine. There is the man in second, Rob. Rob will get a shock as well.

Eep Lougher won't want to risk the machine. Here is the moment.

just took one in. Slid along. You can see it again from this angle.

He just touched the brake and he got too close to the machine in

front. Nice big field to land in. He will be slightly upset, but

basically all right. Here is someone else who is basically all

right. Ian Lougher. John bow rows and Adrian Archy bold fighting it

out. This I Ryan Farquhar who is running away with the supertwins.

He is running away with Ian Lougher. I wonder if Lougher knows he is

there. Yes, he will feel the ground shake. Now he has seen him. What

was that? He lets Farquhar through. Unless he fansys a bit of fun

around the Dundrod circuit. They're having fun. Look at them - shoulder

to shoulder. On board with Ian Lougher. Out on his own in front.

This isn't clear. Morgan's going up the inside. Into the Lindsay

hairpin. Oh he is down and he is up. That was a quick one. That soobged

-- looked so easy. There is Farquhar. That is easy. Ian Lougher

should be the next into view. Another win at the Ulster Grand

Prix. Two wins in a week for Ian Lougher. You a you made that look

easy. I was thinking that, but it wasn't, the conditions were

changing all of the time and we started off with full wet tyres. I

thought I will be OK and then the sun came out and by the end of the

day, it was dry. So Ian Lougher, yet another win at the Ulster Grand

Prix. And what a crack 250 race that was. Supertwins, a bit more

straight forward, Ryan Farquhar taking the victory. I tried to ride

steady and smooth and save my tyres. I opted for wets as everyone did.

As the race went on, the tyre got worse and worse. I just had to ride

it smooth. I was watching my board and I could see Ian in front and I

wanted to get in front. I knew the helicopter was following me, that I

was leading. So happy days. Well as far as Ulster Grand Prix goes that

is win No 7 for Ryan Farquhar. He and his young daughter on to the

podium. Another smooth display from him. The next race of the day is

for the Supersport 600CC machines. The fastest man in practice was a

Scotman, Keith Amor. Who has an unforgettable Grand Prix last year

with his first international win. It is all about the battle for the

lead. Keith Amor is to reling wish -- relinquish first place. But Amor

almost there so many times, I never finner more than 0.4 off in any of

the wins. I was getting a bit desperate. When I won that 600 race,

it put a few demons to rest. The racing after that was nothing short

of phenomenal. COMMENTATOR: Amor and there is no rainbow. He has got

to go left. Look at Keith Amor. Where did he come from? What is

this race all about when they're short circuits like that. Amor is

so good. I love this event and I had a great event last year and the

racing was close and I wanted to come here and I was kind of trying

to persuade Neil to come over. He said look, we will look into it. If

it is possible, we will do it. We didn't know we were going to miss

the North West 200. I said can I do the Ulster. He said OK we will do

it. I'm glad that Honda's come. I love fast, fast circuits and big

sweeping flowing bends. It is what racing a bike is all about. Coming

here and getting to do that, when it is dry there is not a better

place in the world. This is undoubtedly my favourite circuit to

race at. So Keith Amor in pole position. But just have a look who

is alongside him on the front row. The man who has just had his debut

win at the Ulster. So full of confidence, Michael Dunlop, so full

of attitude and now it is almost as if he has is the covered a secret.

He knows he can do it and it is just a question of when he does it

in the race. What a front row though? Yes and also this is your

favourite class. Oh yes. I do love a 600. They're always shoulder to

shoulder. I'm sure we will see lots of close racing. We're on board

with Michael Dunlop. Watch the lights. I'm sure they know where

they R Keith Amor, Michael Dunlop, but a great start from Cameron

Donald. Here we go. And Donald's got his nose in front. We're on

board with Michael Dunlop. He has got his whole bike in front. A

whole bunch of them behind him. Martin has come through and Gary

Johnson. This is the one we're interested n Cameron Donald left

the line first. What a great start for him. Everyone was talking about

Keith Amor and Michael Dunlop. But look at this. Michael Dunlop in

second. Gary Johnson up to fourth. And then Dunlop, William and

further back. And then Cameron Donald, down Deer's Leap. A

rollercoaster ride that is the Dundrod circuit. Bruce Anstey, so

many hitters in this race. So many potential winners. Streaming in,

nose to tail now and Keith Amor couldn't get off the line as well

as he would have liked. He isn't in the position that he would want.

How good is this for Cameron don afpltd Michael Dunlop checking, I -

- Donald, Michael Dunlop checking. Johnson up to third. The trick is,

you have got to be in the group. You can be first, second or third,

as long as you're in the group, you're in with a chance. I don't

think that Cameron Donald knows how aggressive Michael Dunlop looks. He

is so neat and tidy compared to a year ago. He has got this thing off

his back and he is now a fully... Oh red flag! That is the reason why.

The rider's up and OK. A hairpin there. It will be a slow one.

Michael Dunlop very hands on. He is full of confidence. He has got the

composure. He knows, he absolutely knows thousand win a race and --

how to win a race. Here we go. Its another one from Donald and Amor

going backward. Iain Lougher has burst through. He had a terrible

start last time. Now Cameron Donald is ahead of Amor. But the

Australian will lead them for the first time in this restarted race.

Michael Dunlop, that was the thing of old, with his corner speed and

the way he looks confident. In the past so many times he was sluggish

off the line. He always had to play catch up. But he has made it up

behind Ian Lougher. Well Ian Lougher, the senior citizen of this

class of racing, but that wasn't a very senior start. It was very

aggressive. Cameron Donald has make the break. It is all to play for.

If you're there, you're in with a slout and they are all there.

Cameron Donald's done the right thing. Have you heard the one about

the Australia, the Englishman, the Scotsman, the Irishman, they are

all in there. This is serious stuff. Cameron conald -- Donald's doing

the right thing. They all start getting in each other's drafts.

Donald is trying to break away. Butless not managing it. Look,

double figures, that is how many potential race winners there.

is a man's corner. Although it doesn't look like it on the TV.

There is a lot of those. That is one of the reasons why this circuit

sois good. And why so many people watch it. Keith Amor through into

second place. The track is much drier than in the earlier races.

We're on board with Michael Dunlop again. Looks like William in front

of him, is it. Dry roads every where and the weather is so

changeable. Keith Amor will dry and go up the inside of Donald. Not on

this occasion though. No, no, no! One sixth of them there. A 12 wheel

runaway express train. Top of the circuit now. Come ran Donald top of

the world. Keith Amor right behind him. Looking for the inside. We

have seen passing manoeuvres here. William don lop goes through up to

third. There is about four different lines around the hairpin.

Look at the speed that Cameron Donald's carrying there. Michael

Dunlop goes up the inside of Johnson. What happened? I thought

he was down. He was kneeling right into Michael done lon. Johnson has

lost momentum. We're looking at still Cameron Donald leading them.

Wave the checkered flag we have had enough to last is one lap.

United only one lap? I thoughts it Dunlop, trying to go through. The

weather has gone dark. There are with patches back on the road.

would fancy him to apply the slipstream of the Australian year.

He used up in a right then. Michael Dunlop out of his seat. And Bruce

and stay has tacked onto the back of this group. -- Bruce Anstey.

Cameron Donald has got to try and touch insane. This is not sensible!

The air goes Cameron Donald. I think that Cameron Donald in a

straight line on a 600 is the fastest bike out there. How does

that happen? They are getting towed along, I think. This is where they

won at all last year. Cameron Donald hands got the speed into the

tongue. He is dictating this race at present. He is inch-perfect. He

is not making any mistakes and he has caught the most powerful bike.

Cameron Donald very much back on form. So quick through here. So

easy to get it wrong. And there is. There is not the length of pipe

between them. Bus - the length of a bike. They are making a break for

it, Gary Johnson. No, he backed off. And he had to. There was no way

through. William Dunlop in third- place match. Guy Martin, further

back, just on board now with Michael Dunlop. Is he going

through? And William Dunlop goes through. That looks as though

Michael Dunlop is trying to get through as well. Gary Johnson is in

third place mat. And he is going to lose two places. William Dunlop up

the outside of Cameron Donald. Super Reading. Cameron Donald did

not see that one coming. He saw a black magic in the slipstream. I'm

a stake from Johnson. He has gone white. That is turn out of it. He

has rolled himself away. How did he do that? He bashed it up on the

grass. Yes, the back wheel upon the grass, the top of the dip. The

front wheel was on the tarmac, the Weir is on the grass, he spins

around. I shake off their head. -- four of place. Keith Amor, Cameron

Donald is going to take William Dunlop. And it is Michael Dunlop on

William Dunlop - is see-through? Yes he is! What a race! There is

Gary Johnson. He said up, but he has lost a lot of time. Talk about

naff and tuck. They are friends of the bikes but not on the bikes at

the moment. We yon Dunlop using every inch and more. -- William

Dunlop. He just shut the door in his face! There is that panoramic

view, if you have got time to look at that. Running down the hole now.

Michael Dunlop baster just get his breath back after that. Now there

is a bit of space between them. Michael Dunlop chasing after his

brother. William already has a Ulster Grand Prix victories under

his belt. Now, Michael has joined him and completes the set. William

Dunlop bleeding. -- leading. Bruce Anstey, the quiet Kiwi, could

easily do that, but I think this is shaping up to be a battle. You do

not get quieter than William Dunlop off the track. He knows what to do

and how to do it on a 600 around Dundrod. He is looking super-smooth,

and he is super-smooth. William and Michael are chalk and cheese.

Michael certainly, now. He has got everything. And William has come to

the front. World and is looking good on a 1,000 cc bike, which she

has not done before. Look at Michael Dunlop ride his bike. Look

House mood, determined and for all he is. He is going to go on,

winning, for years. -- thought Cork -- look house move. -- how smooth.

He is through the gap! William does not tend to hook into the up and as

much as Michael, and Michael seems to follow the line. William was

minding his own business going through the hairpin and his brother

stuck the front wheel up. Remember Inch-perfect, from both of them.

They trust each other and know each other's riding. But who can predict

this? We should see Cameron Donald going through. Side by side,

Michael Dunlop and William Dunlop. We are looking back at Ryan

Farquhar. Just a little bit of track position working for William.

Breaking away at the front. wouldn't call that a breakaway.

Going back to Cameron Donald. There is a gap or third place. Was it

just this half-a-dozen riders? of the slipstream of brother

Michael, comes William. Look at this speed! William carrying a lot

more speed than Michael. It is Honda presses Yamaha. -- versus

Yamaha. Cameron closing in, coming down towards Irelands. Speeding

through. Some of the corners are hot, and some others, they do not

enjoy so much. The circuit is so great because every bit of it

counts. There isn't anywhere where you can afford to back off. It is

all working. Michael Dunlop will try to slipstream his brother

William. Their egos. And he kicks to the right. He takes the lead

from William. So, it is not a Yamaha-Honda think, after all, it

is a slipstream thing. On the right hand, coming up to the top. There

we go, William Dunlop years ahead again. This is what they call a

ding-dong. When you are in someone's slipstream, not only do

you get a toe, but you suck them back so you are slowing down the

bike in front. That is why you get this catapult effect. We have seen

between these two, swapping places. It is a case of who gets the best

drop for the chequered flag. This is what is unique about road racing,

certainly year, and at the North West 200. He's just a little bit

wider into the town, every time. Michael knew that William was going

to do that. -- into the turn. Michael Bulley hugs the line as he

goes around the hairpin, William tends to drift out and that leads

the door open. Before the chicane, were that slipstream works and they

all get sucked in, yet that is happening all the way around.

crossed the line. Bruce and state, still, back to fourth place now

have. -- Bruce as they -- Anstey. We have concentrated on the Dunlops

so much at the front. About to take third place, the Australian. There

are five riders with a three-second spread. Going into the last lap. It

is anybody's game. And they are still at it. Look at Bruce Anstey,

closing on them. I am going to see if I can get a bet on him because

you would not get one, lap ago. Looking to pull into second place

magnet. Used as the going through - this is fantastic! -- Bruce as the

going through. -- Anstey. Bruce and stay has definitely got his name on

the podium. Enter place. Some spots of rain, so that might just come

into play. So on chances now for the back markers. Ryan Farquhar

moves up one position. We are on board with Michael Dunlop, the man

in second place. And Cameron Donald and Guy Martin... It is a three-way

fight at the front. He was right on the grass. Half of a lap, 3.5 miles

of this Dundrod circuit. One of the Dunlops is going to win this but I

don't know which one. That is a big ask, even for Bruce, even for the

slipstream. William is still carrying that. It is almost like he

got too close. That would be a fast! Will we get a face full of

praise and stay? -- Bruce Anstey. And when to take that back about

this - they are the is, he has close that gap in the slipstream.

And it is a three-way battle! William Dunlop is there, into the

hairpin, out of his seat, almost. Watch. He does not hark the white

line as much as Michael does. He is trying to defend that line. Dunlop,

and William, out of the seat again, half a yard further back going into

the hairpin, trying to protect it. I tell you what, it is a brave man

who beats Michael Dunlop between here and the chequered flag. It

looks as if two rectories are going to come along for Michael Dunlop,

back to back. William gave his brother the opening he wanted at

the hairpin. He went high and wide, and dive back across. I don't think

he will let that happen again. Michael Dunlop, two-time winner of

the Ulster Grand Prix. There you go. And the results - 0.3 seconds. It

did not look that much between Did you time than to perfection?

Yes, I played and played. What a great race. It was a great race,

with someone that you can buy ice with. Good, tight racing.

Ulster men and a Welshman at dominate the Windsor at the Ulster

Grand Prix. It has been a fantastic day's racing. Everyone was worried

about the damp patches. But the racers have coped pretty well. And

we have got some Irish victories at the Ulster Grand Prix. Thank you
