By In a league of his own around Armoy, Michael Dunlop secured the blue riband Race of Legends crown for the seventh year in succession.
Victorious by almost 13 seconds, race victory also makes it six Superbike roads wins in 2017, aboard the Bennetts Suzuki.
At the start of the year, there was those who said Michael would encounter the same problems, that afflicted his time with Milwaukee Yamaha, in making an unknown package into a proven winner.
Proving many wrong again, he’s proven yet again today, why he is regarded by various high profile roads figures, as the world’s number 1 pure road racer.
