The opening superbike race at this years North West 200 proved to be one of the great races of the 2014 road racing season.
Following a superb all round performance William Dunlop edged out brother Michael Dunlop after a great battle between them on the final lap. It was William’s first international road race superbike victory plus his second win with the Tyco Suzuki by TAS team.
Whilst for Michael Dunlop it was his first international road race podium finish with BMW and Hawk racing. The rest of the 2014 Vauxhall international North West 200 saw great racing throughout but without a doubt the standout race this year around the triangle was the opening superbike race.
