Michael Dunlop claimed victory in the second Superbike race at the North West 200, though the event was overshadowed by significant controversy.

Davey Todd (8Ten Racing BMW Motorrad) led the early stages of the race, while Dunlop (MD Hawk Racing/BMW) and Peter Hickman (8Ten Racing BMW Motorrad) engaged in a fierce battle behind him. The pair made contact twice in the heat of the fight, allowing Todd to stretch his lead out front.

Dunlop appeared to be in line for a ten-second penalty for rejoining the track dangerously at the Mather’s Cross chicane – but no sanction was handed down. Despite this, the Northern Irishman delivered a stellar performance to fight back and take the lead at the start of the final lap, holding it to the end.

He crossed the finish line 1.984s ahead of Todd, with Hickman completing the podium at 7.005s behind. Alastair Seeley (Honda Racing UK) and Ian Hutchinson (moobob MLav Racing/BMW) rounded out the top five, ahead of veteran John McGuinness (Honda Racing UK).

The result was met with frustration from Dunlop’s main rivals, who felt he should have been penalized for re-entering the track in an unsafe manner at the Mather’s Cross chicane without stopping in the stop box.

Hickman argued the move warranted a ten-second penalty, while Todd was more scathing: ‘It’s his [Dunlop’s] backyard, isn’t it? […]. We have rules, and they just change the rules to suit whoever it suits’, the rider told The Race, having also been affected by a technical issue.

Dunlop defended his actions: ‘The rule is that if you run on through the stop box, you have to stop and put your foot down, but for safety reasons I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t jump off the grass and into the stop box – it was too dangerous’.

Tensions escalated after the race, when Hickman refused to join Dunlop and Todd on the podium. He may have formally protested the race result.
