Ulster Grand Prix 1/2 Bikes!

outskirts of how fast is the venue for one of the most exhilarating and

exciting motorcycling events on the planet. The Dundrod circuit is loved

by the riders and it is a mecca for the fans. This is the Ulster Grand

Prix. It is the fastest road race circuit

in the world. The fastest road race in the world.

What happened there! You have to commit or else you are not going to

win. Bruce Anstey!

There is just something about it. The speed of the place. Really

enjoyed it. There are fast turns, sixth gear.

The speed, I love the speed of it. Best road race, it is the scariest.

That is the top and bottom of it. Head down, and away. If you do not

feel alive around here you will never feel alive.

What is going on! The Ulster Grand Prix is the fastest road race in the

world. That is why we are here. That is not physically possible! I am

Bruce Anstey. I am the fastest road racer in the world. Welcome to one

of the oldest and most visited just sporting event in the world. The

Ulster Grand Prix. Thousands are here to experience one of the most

exciting sporting events you will find anywhere in the world. The

rider who holds the record for the number of wind around this unique

track is the late world number of wind around this unique

Joey Dunlop. And it is his nephew Michael Dunlop who has dominated

Rose rating this year. -- road racing.

What a win for Michael Dunlop! The year has been good and I am

enjoying my racing. After your success this year you would like to

finish off the Ulster Grand Prix with another set of good

performances? Definitely. I like Dundrod. It is a good spot. How

intense is this circuit? It is so quick. The TT, you are doing it on

your own. Here there are maybe four or five guys on top of you. And tell

us about your experience on four wheels! It was just laid-back. No

hassle. I just enjoyed myself. That is the main thing. How much pressure

you feel under being the number one road racer in the world at the

moment? I do not mind the pressure. I know what I can do. On the day I

will be as quick as I want to be. One man who enjoyed watching Michael

Dunlop and his sensational season is Philip McCallan. He won five races

in a single day. What is the key to this circuit? It is speed,, is need.

Just seconds flying down and be reached 200 miles an hour. Then one

of the most terrifying corners, the dear sleep. -- Deer's Leap. And then

two very important corners. Joey 's Windmill. That is hard on the

brakes. Into the hairpin. Then the Quarry bends or you get one last

chance before the chequered flag. So apart from Michael Dunlop, who

are the main contenders this year? We have Guy Martin who won three

races here last year. And he's the fourth most successful writer of the

Ulster Grand Prix. He beat veteran Bruce Anstey, the fastest road racer

in the world. And we have Lee Johnston who was on the podium

earlier in the week. And new kids on the block Dean Harrison, the fastest

ever newcomer around the Dundrod circuit. And the Isle of Man rider

Dan Neil. Time for the first race of the day. The superstock machine. And

Michael Dunlop in pole position. We join our race commentators.

Well a lot warmer in here because this is one called great. We thought

Michael Dunlop on pole. It is going to get hot on the tracks soon. The

fastest newcomer, Peter Hickman. He featured on Sunday. And these guys

are going to be worried about their tyres. There is rain in the air and

on the track. It is all about the tyres. Waiting for the signal that

says go. The flags with the in. tyres. Waiting for the signal that

first race of the Ulster Grand Prix gets underway.

first race of the Ulster Grand Prix starting in pole position. Here they

go. That was a flying start at the front. Guy Martin in the lead. Going

down towards Rock Bends. Dean Harrison now established as one of

the stars of road racing alongside Guy Martin and Bruce Anstey. Into

the right-hand turn. A little bit of overtaking. A little bit from Lee

Johnston. A couple of riders having to slam on the anchors all get on

the power. It is all fast around this circuit. We are going back to

the start with Bruce Anstey as he tries to find his way through the

pack. That was close! Dean Harrison just moved over to the right-hand

side and sweeps past Guy Martin. What a great start to the Ulster

Grand Prix. Guy Martin got off the line best initially. And here comes

Dean Harrison just bowling through. Now passing the race leader. A great

start from him. There is no one more confident on a motorbike at the

moment than Dean Harrison. Bruce Anstey going off the top. We are on

board with Peter Hickman. Down towards the right turn. A really

tricky corner. Lovely when you get it right. A bit of a breathtaking

but then they all are around here. You run up the hill towards the top

of the circuit. You need speed going up there or you will be blasted away

in the slipstream. Guy Martin under a bit of pressure. Dan got a good

start. Now he has got his breath back again and he is leading. On

with Lee Johnston. That is what I mean about the slipstream. It is

like having another gear. And Lee Johnston has got a problem. It is a

shameful Lee Johnston. He moved up one position. And that is how fast

it is. If one position. And that is how fast

it you are the side of the road. Going up the hill towards the top of

the circuit. On-board with Dan Kneen. Almost up into the clouds. It

was very wet earlier on on the circuit. Dean Harrison, just

cruising. Has he got a problem as well? It may be the weather. I think

that is a sensible call. It is miserable. A chance for everyone to

make the choice on the tyres that they were agonising on before. What

a shame for Dan Kneen to have to start again. But the weather has got

the best of everyone here. Back onto the grid. I imagine we will get the

declaration of a wet race and the chance to put on whatever tyres you

think the circuit is ready for. It has deteriorated whilst they were on

the grid. It can change in five minutes. From tropical to Typhoon.

You can expect to get four different climates on the circuit. Few people

realise how high up the circuit is. It overlooks Belfast. It is quite

high up. About 300, 400 feet of elevation change between the bottom

of the circuit going up towards the top of Deer's Leap.. They have taken

off the clear visor and put on the tinted visor. This is not a day for

that. It is a wet race which is not wet. It is up to them to have wet

tyres on. Everyone has except Guy Martin and Dan Kneen. Dan Kneen

their game. The Guy Martin gets the start he wanted. Here comes Dean

Harrison. It is almost a replay. Dan Kneen, no room through here. That is

a fine site. They come along past the The Flying Kilo. Lee Johnston.

He had to give them. He was on the left-hand side of the road. We are

looking at Peter Hickman. Dean Harrison in the lead. This is faster

and more confident. Dean Harrison is on intermediate tyres. Him and Guy

Martin are the only ones who made that choice. When they get around

the corner and start going up the hill, as we restart with Bruce

Anstey, that is the same starters we had first time around. It is the

same with Dan Kneen and Dean Harrison, the front bikes again.

They managed to keep the front wheel somewhere near the ground. This is

where the world drops away. Harrison and Dan Kneen side-by-side. Dan

Kneen is really challenging. Lee Johnston is in fourth. Bruce Anstey

going down towards the fourth hand, under the trees. It started to get

wet there before. This is where they had problems. Lee Johnston seems to

have a few problems. It is very bumpy. He has gone high apparatus.

Guy Martin, they're all queueing up. Dan Kneen, tucked down behind Dean

Harrison. It is wet here. Dean Harrison should be much more

confident. It does not look atrociously wet. It looks patchy.

The camera can be deceiving. Dean Harrison with Dan Kneen behind him.

Bruce Anstey trying to join in the fun. This looks wet. You can see a

little bit of a rooster's tale. This is very fast, you need to carry this

speed. It looks miserable. Fantastic. Right turn. The weather

is not much better than it was. We are at Wheeler's Corner. Bruce

Anstey is looking forward. He was quick, Bruce Anstey in practice. He

was almost a winner in the Dundrod 150 on Thursday. Every time we

always sound surprised, but 150 on Thursday. Every time we

always seems to manage to pull it off. I think it is because of his

can. That was lovely. He slid it can. That was lovely. He slid it

through Lindsay Hairpin. I can. That was lovely. He slid it

like to say that was planned. Hopefully it was. They are all

taking it easy, especially on this Hopefully it was. They are all

first lap. Harrison is not taking it easy and neither is Dan Nemo.

Harrison is a man on a roll -- Dan on. -- Dan Kneen. He is

Harrison is a man on a roll -- Dan to get past Dean Harrison. He has

Harrison is a man on a roll -- Dan the inside lane -- line, Dan Kneen

should be in the lead. It is all brave around here. We have a

breakaway trio, three groups of brave around here. We have a

Plenty to keep everyone entertained. This is the three at the front,

Plenty to keep everyone entertained. Bruce Anstey, Dean Harrison and Dan

Kneen. Dan Kneen has had a remarkable year. He kicked off well

at Cookstown. That slipstream helped him so much going up the hill. Lee

Johnston is further back, going backwards. He won a race on

Thursday. Dan Kneen is not messing about. And again! When he has got

the right bike, he is a difficult man to catch. That is the truth

right now. Oh my goodness. That was a big moment there on the left-hand

side for Dan Kneen. This is the first one. This was the easy one.

The front goes light, that is what racers say. Four feet off the

ground. Weaving from side to side. Bruce Anstey is well out of that.

Dan Kneen goes back. Harrison is back up into first position. Dean

Harrison we have been touting as the next big thing and as I said

earlier, he has cemented his position. Dan Kneen has come along

as the next big thing and ears proving he could be a big thing.

Absolutely, Peter Hickman is looking good. I have not seen it like this

before. He qualified well, he had the speed and was racing well. He

has turned it up another gear. Peter Hickman had a spell on Thursday on

this bike and he was OK. The bike was in a bad way. It was in boxes! A

remarkable effort to get the bike back out there. Michael Dunlop has

been helping out, I believe, with some parts. He does not need any

help now. He has the power of the BMW to come in and retake the place.

It is still wet out there but try line are appearing. We have got two

machines on wet tyres, one on the middle that but in the middle on

intermediates. Guy Martin has dropped out of this battle. He has.

Dan Kneen has lost the place again. Peter Hickman. He has the straight

line speed. 131 mph in the drive. They will not be far off those

speeds. Bruce Anstey did 186 mph in practice through the speed trap.

speeds. Bruce Anstey did 186 mph in This is a fast race track however

you measure it. Here comes Dan Kneen alongside Dean Harrison. Is he close

enough? I do not think so. Bruce Anstey still content to hang onto

coat-tails of the leading pair. You have to factor the wind. It is not a

nice day to go racing. Dan Kneen needs to tap Ken behind Dean

Harrison. Bruce Anstey is close needs to tap Ken behind Dean

enough now. Two 41. Dan Kneen sucks embark. He was going for both of

them -- sucks back. Here we go again. Through Rock Bends. Dean

Harrison has risen to the occasion. He can race with anyone and he knows

it. Peter Hickman is having a good day. He has a way to go. He passes

Lee Johnston on the run out of Leathemstown. These two are bursting

with it. Bruce Anstey may have something in the locker. Dan Kneen,

that was like the previous lap. It was, back with Peter Hickman. This

is coming down Deer's Leap. Fast as Newcomer at the Isle of Man this

year, I think it will be the fastest newcomer here as well -- fastest. He

is learning his way around Dundrod today. We are back with Dan Kneen.

He swaps position with Dean Harrison. Bruce Anstey wants to get

past both of them. He must be smiling to himself as he watches

this pair and think they are doing the hard work but keeping themselves

in range. The slipstream helps. Still a bit damp. Dan Kneen in the

lead. Dean Harrison is in second with Bruce Anstey in third. Are they

going to trip over each other? Bruce Anstey must be concerned about that.

This is the moist part of the circuit. Bruce is not that far

away. This is moving quite close for Bruce Anstey going through Wheeler's

Corner. That is the scary corner, scarier than Deer's Leap. You never

get to take it with the road ahead clear. You can feel the fear. The

one thing as well but we are seeing is there are so many overtaking

opportunities and right on cue, here it is a there he goes at Lindsay

Hairpin. Dean it is a there he goes at Lindsay

drive out of there. He really did. Perhaps that is the break he

needed. Maybe now he has broken the challenge. Bruce is going to be

anxious to get past Dan challenge. Bruce is going to be

can. That will bring Dan Kneen back into play. This race is not over.

Even though there is three of them, it sometimes seems like there is 30

of them. Bruce Anstey seems to be waiting and kill two birds with one

stone. Dan Kneen is behind Dean Harrison again. Dan Kneen is

fighting. He is all over the racetrack. He is really riding it.

For the slipstream to work you have to be tucked in behind on their The

Flying Kilo. -- on The Flying Kilo. This is popular with the race fans.

This is why they come here every year. Plenty of overtaking. You

probably get more overtaking moves in this race than you would in a

whole season of Grand Prix racing. Dean Harrison back into the lead.

They are racing like 600s, but these are superstar, big motorbikes, they

should not be doing this. Dan Kneen keeps doing this -- Superstock.

should not be doing this. Dan Kneen has come down to Cochranstown. What

a rider Peter Hickman is, what a future star he could be. Coming up,

a rider Peter Hickman is, what a inside Guy Martin who has won

countless Grand Prix races. Dean Harrison goes up the inside

countless Grand Prix races. Dean Kneen. Bruce Anstey sits back.

countless Grand Prix races. Dean are onto Ireland's Corner.

countless Grand Prix races. Dean to climb up here, it is a steady

climb. Talking about steady climbs, it is on to Joey's Windmill. We are

way up the hill. it is on to Joey's Windmill. We are

Dean Harrison again. Well Dan Kneen be thinking of a plan or is he

racing Dean Harrison? -- will Dan Kneen. There are not any plans any

more. They have had all those. They have gone through all of them.

Whatever that plan was it worked temporarily for Dan Kneen. This is

the last chance on the circuit. You need to be close if you want to do

something. It is Dan Kneen. Dean Harrison is on the back of him. Is

this Bruce Anstey? Will he find a way through? He is not close enough.

It is the same as last time around. Dean Harrison up the inside, Dan

It is the same as last time around. Kneen has not got far to go. We have

seen him do it before. He was close to Dean Harrison coming out of the

last corner. He is very close to him now. He tucks in behind Dean

Harrison. Dean Harrison in the lead. Dan Kneen close in second place. And

on the run towards the chequered flag. Bruce Anstey not close enough

to challenge. The flag is waving. Dan Kneen does not even know who was

the winner. Have a look at that. Dan Kneen. 1000 of a second.

Congratulations. It was a close race. I just got round on the

outside. I did not think I was going to win it. There was a lot of

passing. The bike worked great. Deer's Leap is one of the scariest

corners in road racing. You seem to have mastered. I love that corner. I

was sliding a little bit. But it was all under control. Dean, did you

think you had it? I did, actually. But that is the way it goes. The

pair of you were a hammer and tongs all the way round. It was a good

race. 1000 of a second. A great way to start the Ulster Grand Prix. You

could not split it! The average age of those two guys is about half of

your age. But you stuck it to them. I was just lining up to give it a

go. I was happy with that. Superstock is going well. I was in

with a chance. We will see in the next race. Good to see a new

generation coming through. Yes. Younger and raver! I will give it a

good go. -- raver. Dan Kneen on the top step. Along

with Dean Harrison and of course Bruce Anstey.

Great to see the new generation of young road racers coming to the

fore. A truly international field to this event this year. With riders

here from 15 different countries including newcomers trying the

Dundrod circuit for the first time. One of those riders is trying to set

a record of her own. Patricia Fernandes wants to be the fastest

ever female around the fastest circuit in the world.

It is a bit overwhelming as a newcomer when you're used to short

circuits. You have to learn. I had seven .5 miles. It is really

exciting. It is intense. The target is to be the fastest ever female

rider around this circuit. Can you achieve that? I think so. I have

done my research. I get faster every lap. It would be amazing to brake

the record. I do not want to talk too much, let us see what happens.

But it would be amazing. The fans here, it is like a big family. It is

huge. It is an -- it is in the blood of everyone here in Ireland. I'm

here in my first road race. There is always some thrilling action around

this circuit. Some rain starting so this will also be a wet race. In

pole position is Lee Johnston from Co Fermanagh. He had victory at the

North West 200 earlier this year. Well we have just seen a Supersport

race. Ian Hutchinson has fallen off again. He has got bruises all over

his arms and shoulders. I do not think you will see him in top form.

But Lee Johnston is very much in top form. Keith Amor rimming with

confidence on his return to racing this year. Getting ready for the

sign that says watch the lights. And there it is. Away they go. Who is

the man with a good start? That was William Dunlop. We are on board with

Lee Johnston looking back at the pack. This is the view from Keith

Amor. This is a proper 600 race. All crowded onto the road. The second of

three waves leaving the line. Another wave still 30 seconds

behind. We go back on board with Keith Amor. And William Dunlop

looking very confident. That was very close. Looking back at Guy

Martin in third position. Bruce Anstey coming through as well. Tying

up to Lee Johnston. Here goes loose out of the slipstream and down the

hill. A few other people doing the same thing behind him. Lee Johnston

has slipped back to fourth position. Back to fifth.

has slipped back to fourth position. Harrison. Dean Harrison on form

whatever the size of the motorcycle he is riding. And Bruce has

whatever the size of the motorcycle of this before. Dean Harrison is a

really versatile rider. of this before. Dean Harrison is a

gravel. Bikes everywhere. Must be a red flag. Hard to see who

gravel. Bikes everywhere. Must be a gone down. I think it is Keith Amor

as well. Three bikes on the ground. Lee Johnston not one of them. There

we go, red flag. William Dunlop gets through safely. You can hear it

happening. It is Dean Harrison, Keith Amor and Dan Kneen running

into each other. This is the on-board fuel with Keith Amor. --

view. He saw what was happening and bailed out immediately. Did Dan

Kneen run over Keith Amor? I think that might have happened. You can

see how wet it is. It was a wet race. Full on the throttle. Lee

Johnston looking back at it. Keith Amor definitely jumped off. I think

Dean Harrison, his front just tapped. You cannot save the front

wheel. He thought the man in front was just going to lose the back end.

He tried to get out of it but he could not. Dan Kneen and Keith Amor

came together as well. No answer for the front going down. Could not get

that turned around. I was so close to hitting him.

Well unfortunately that race was brought to a premature halt. The

three riders involved have all been taken to hospital to have their

injuries assessed. At the moment none of those injuries are thought

to be life-threatening. The organisers have postponed the 600

race until later on. Next up we have the right weight and ultra light

weights. James Cowton is the man of the moment. Northern Ireland is such

a hot bed of 2/ racing. It rose through the blood here. James Cowton

on number nine, streaking into the lead. Pretty much according to the

form book. Ian Morrell there as well. Ian Morrell looks to move up.

Christian Elkin on 25. Sam Dunlop on 17. We are looking at the front of

the 250 race. James Cowton has made the brake. 250 seizing up is not a

surprise. James Cowton over the line with a massive lead. But there is a

massive scrap. Daley Mathison, a quality rider as well. Does he have

the drop on him? That was a good launch out of the hairpin from

Christian Elkin. The almost inevitable chequered

flag. Christian Elkin still second. A scrap to the line. It is going to

be Daley Mathison. Christian Elkin drawing in.

Across the line they go. Daley Mathison takes it from Christian

Elkin. Daley Mathison in the ultra light weight race.

Unstoppable today and Thursday. Ian Morrell in third place.

Congratulations, James. You looked as if you did not even brake a

sweat. I just maintained it, really. And it worked. I am happy.

The bike brought me home well. Quite a ride and quite a win.

It was running fantastic. I could not fault them. He had the upper

hand on a couple of the backmarkers. I just had to keep going until the

end. And see where we were on the last lap.

One man who would have enjoyed those performances thoroughly was Ralph

Fiennes. Northern Ireland's a first motorcycling world champion. Aged

72, sadly he passed away recently but he is fondly remembered by

everyone here. Tributes have been flooding in for our Grand Prix

champion from 1965. No one really realises just how good

he was. To win the world championship for Honda in 1965, he

was just at his best. He was one of the best riders I have ever seen. I

was the best riders I have ever seen. I

remember him here where he had a lot of success.

remember him here where he had a lot in Dundrod. If we win races

remember him here where he had a lot dedicate them to him, in my head.

Super, and a good friend. I will never forget him. Well, let us see

if one of Hector Neal's team can give him something to celebrate in

this, the restarted Supersport race. It restarts with a depleted grid

because although those names are there, Dean Harrison and keep a

mower and Dan Kneen have all been taken to hospital. -- Keith Amor. No

one seriously hurt. We all get ready to go again. A second chance for a

Lee Johnston. William Dunlop or was so fast, he is again, there is Lee

Johnston. He is tucked in behind William Dunlop, Lee Johnston. Write

down behind the bubble and it is still that number six bike who

leads. Lee Johnston in second place. They are all close together. William

Dunlop, absolutely storming away. Lee Johnston behind Guy Martin,

there is Michael Dunlop. Where have we seen him today? He had a problem

with his visor in the Superstock race. They could not change it.

with his visor in the Superstock raced in the dark! Looks like game

-- Guy Martin, maybe not, Bruce Anstey is there. Down towards Deer's

Leap. We are not used to Anstey is there. Down towards Deer's

big gaps in this race. Guy Martin getting a bit of pressure from Bruce

Anstey. William Dunlop is leading and leading by some distance.

William Dunlop has not really had with Tyco Suzuki that he was hoping

for. As the season is trying to a close, this represents a last big

chance for him to show what he can do. A chance for him to stand on the

podium with Tyco Suzuki. The end team are capable of winning at these

races. They do not be able to be seen to put it together. It is

circumstances with injuries. Lee Johnston is about to lose second

place. There goes Guy Martin. Bruce Anstey will want to get through.

That was it, he is past. Can they catch William Dunlop? Was Lee

Johnston a bit too slow? It is a quick circuit. The fastest in the

world. Speed, speed and speed. Still looking a little bit patchy on the

higher part of the circuit. You can see them drawing up in the

slipstream and that was Bruce on the brakes. He is good on the brakes,

some very uncertain surface. It changed big-time, went from wet to

dry. Lee Johnston back in fourth place. He will try and close up on

the slower part of the track. It is still rapid as they go in towards

the Lindsay Hairpin. That is more like it, four bikes together.

William Dunlop must be thinking he has this made. He is about five

seconds in front. Seen at so many times, the guy leading on the front

does not necessarily go on to win at the Ulster Grand Prix no matter how

big a gap. They often seem to get drawn black -- back. This could be

one of them were the slipstream is at work. Bruce is on fire! He is in

behind Guy Martin. Not taking an opportunity. Here they go across the

line, it is William Dunlop. It must be three seconds from Guy Martin.

Here comes Bruce. Bruce is tucked in behind Guy Martin. It is whether he

can hit back going into Rock Bends. Dunlop has a lovely lady. Bruce

Anstey has got away from Guy Martin -- lead. It looks like he could make

a break for it. Bruce Anstey is leaving them. There is Dunlop in

front. They are going into Leathemstown. Bruce is so quick. He

finds a little ounce or two of speed in the bike carries him forward.

When you look over your shoulder and you see it is Bruce, it is never

only Bruce it is Bruce, look out. They are all stretched out. William

Dunlop is sublime. He is quick. Nobody is slow here. As you come out

of that turn, you flick to the right and come down Deer's Leap, it is

blind going in there. It is commitment, you are on your side,

doing up to 180 mph and you have to commit to it before you get there.

You have to know what you are doing. William Dunlop, Bruce Anstey trying

to break from the pack. I wonder if Bruce Anstey is not being fought

again. This is where Lee Johnston lost positions before. This is where

he lost possession. Michael Dunlop might fancy his chances. Just see

the reflection of the bike in the visor. Fascinating. A little bit of

slipstream at work for everyone. There is quite a gap. Big gaps at

the moment. The slipstream will not work quite well as they go through

at 38. -- Jordan's Cross. Looking like getting the locals on

your side, they name it after the locals. So then, coming down towards

Lindsay Hairpin. He is not getting away. Guy Martin might be a little

bit closer. On the brakes for Lindsay Hairpin. We have lost

Michael Dunlop. He has disappeared. Oh, there he is. He has looked back

and saw he was not being caught. Lee Johnston there. Save where he is for

the moment. Is Bruce Anstey safe from Guy Martin? -- safe. He so

wants to win something that is not a super twin. -- Supertwin. Guy Martin

knows what it takes to win at the Ulster Grand Prix. Lee Johnston is

in third place. He is in behind Guy Martin. They are going down towards

The Flying Kilo. Here we go up the inside. Lee Johnston and he should

get him. He does not. There was not enough of a toll. It looks to me as

though that bike is a little bit down on power. Certainly compared to

Guy Martin. That is all it takes. Just a little tiny difference and

the slipstream brings you there but does not get you past. Guy Martin

made it difficult for him. Guy Martin with Lee Johnston. Will he be

fast enough? If they go right at the top, Lee Johnston will have track

position. Down Deer's Leap, they will go. Lee Johnston in third

place. Guy Martin can hit back. Tyco Suzuki, lots of power, the 600 is a

good bike. Do not forget that William Dunlop is leading also on

Tyco Suzuki. Two of the riders at the top three. Lee Johnston is

trying to change that. No one has seen William Dunlop for a while. He

had cleared off at the front. A perfect start. A perfect race for

him. Bruce Anstey is not catching him and these two behind him have

occupied themselves and failed to come up on Bruce Anstey. They are

wasting time with each other. Lee Johnston was thinking about that and

he has bullied his way through the hairpin. A classic move. He was

gaining on Guy Martin. That was a really good move. He will be

smiling. I do not think Guy Martin will be! He could not get the drive

out of it. Bruce Anstey, where has he come from? He is behind William

Dunlop. Unbelievable! Bruce Anstey is in second place and closing in.

One more lap to go. Bruce Anstey was is in second place and closing in.

using that time wisely. I could not believe how close he was in the last

third of that lap. Now, he believe how close he was in the last

challenging for the lead and going through. Bruce Anstey! New race

leader on the final lap of the Supersport race. He is ahead of

William Dunlop. William Dunlop will not be happy. He will not believe

what has happened. not be happy. He will not believe

his race all the way and Bruce Anstey has come from nowhere. They

come around Leathemstown. Bruce Anstey is leading. The crowd will be

wondering what has happened. How did that happen? Perhaps something has

happened to William, perhaps he missed a gear or had a little wobble

on a corner. That allowed Bruce to read him in. That is Patricia

Fernando 's. -- Fernandez. When you have back corner nails, it is

breathtaking. -- that corner are nailed. William Dunlop has had a

scare from Bruce Anstey and he will be going all out to make sure it

does not happen again. He has made the break again, I am sure that

William Dunlop has had an issue and got over it and whenever it was, he

has put it behind him. He has got back! William Dunlop's machine has

exploded underneath them. As they come up to Wheeler's Corner he

retires from the lead. What a stunning development! Lee Johnston

saw that. I cannot believe the amount of misfortune William Dunlop

has suffered with the Tyco Suzuki outfit this year. They do not seem

to get any luck. Two or three miles from a chequered flag and pop! Now

we know why Bruce was able to read him in, he obviously had an issue.

He tried to ride through it and could not. Bruce Anstey is in the

clear and on his way to another international race victory. He never

misses a podium at international road racing events and very seldom

misses at least one chequered flag and here it comes, Bruce Anstey over

the line, cannot believe that happened. He obviously considered

that raise over and done with, but no. This is how it looks, great

fourth place for a Ivan Lintin. Guy Martin and third, Lee Johnston

second, Bruce Anstey is the winner. I went past. I could not see a

thing. Congratulations, that was a dramatic race. It was. I got past

him. I got a bit of a break. I worked and caught him. Past him a

few times. At the last lap, I was going to give him a good go, but I

knew I had him on the hairpin. What did you think when you saw his bike

go up in smoke? Could you see? I could not. I went past him and

decided to wipe my visor. I could not see anything and I had to slow

down to see where I was going. It was going to be a battle all the way

to the end, but it was a pity about his engine. Congratulations, did you

see William Dunlop's bike blow-up? Yes. There was a big cloud of smoke.

Once Bruce got past Guy Martin I got held up. He was flying. Maybe the

next one. Guy Martin, podium for you, but you are here for wins? I

enjoyed the race. Tricky conditions. Bruce got past me and I thought I

would stick with him. Then Lee Johnston got past and I lost my

momentum. There we go, Guy Martin, Lee Johnston and Bruce Anstey on the

top step of the podium at Dundrod. The Ulster Grand Prix certainly

living up to its top billing so far and what a sensational performance

by Bruce Anstey. He came alive even more, he is only a few years younger

than me. He had stiff opposition in the Supersport race. Bruce won it.

He is the veteran, but what about the young guns? Great to see new

faces. Dan Kneen picks up his first into national when and James Cowton

picks up another win in the Lightweight, it is amazing and great

to see new faces. It has been fantastic so far and we have another

are long highlights programme tomorrow night at the same time on

BBC1. We will see you then. For now, goodbye.
