Second supersport and opening superbike races saw the four times North West 200 winner encounter reliability issues.
Superstock race two would prove to be highly productive for Michael. Piloting his own teams YZF R1M Yamaha Maverick was involved throughout in battle for race victory with Lee Johnston, Alastair Seeley and Ian Hutchinson.
He went onto finish in fourth position as he showcased the all new YZF R1M Yamaha’s potential.
Its going to be fascinating to see how competitive Michael and the R1M Yamaha will be at TT 2015 in superbike, superstock, senior races.
There’s no doubt that the mountain course maestro has the talent, ability, determination, drive, self belief and the will to win to make the all new bike a winner on the most famous of all road race circuits.
