Three video clips of the Tourist Trophy 2012 on the Isle of Man !

Winner of the second Supersport race at the Tourist Trophy 2012, Michael Dunlop is the subject of a short but intense video on the official TT channel … Guy Martin and his friends are also in the game. Warning, engine: it’s running !

The 2012 edition of the famous Tourist Trophy, the motorcycle speed competition taking place in the beautiful – and dangerous – setting of the Isle of Man, ended a few days ago. Winner of the first two 1000cc races (SBK1 and STK, read), John McGuinness was anxiously awaiting the second Superbike race…

Unfortunately, the rain decided otherwise: first postponed until the next day, the second round of Superbike was finally canceled. The n ° 1 of the Honda TT Legends team will therefore have to wait about 340 days before being able to obtain a 20th success at the "Titi" !

TT – Supersport (2/2): Dunlop … Michael, not William !

On the other hand, the Supersport category was entitled to its second race, won by an extremely fast Michael Dunlop, but also a bit lucky since it was his brother William who was firmly in the lead during the first half of the first lap….

Forced to retire, the eldest left the command to his brother who made good use of it, ahead of Australian Donald Cameron by more than 13 seconds at the end of the four laps. The fight for third place turns out to be much closer as Ryan Farquhar finally precedes Bruce Anstey by just one hundredth of a second. !

After his second place in Superstock earlier in the week, Michael Dunlop climbs again on the podium but this time takes the top step !

For the rider of just 24 years old, this is his third TT victory: he is only two lengths behind his late father Robert (killed in 2008 at the North West 200), but still remains very far away. the record of his legendary uncle Joey (who died in Estonia in 2000 while competing in a comparable race): 26 victories on the Isle of Man !

In order to close the Tourist Trophy 2012 dossier in style, Site cannot resist the urge to relay the three videos posted yesterday by the organizer. We first find there the impressive Michael Dunlop and his Yamaha R6 n ° 9 during the famous second Supersport race..

The second extract from the DVD – Bluray to appear on Duke Video is an updated version – "2012 version", in a way – of the one published a month ago in our famous section (read).

Finally, the third and last video published on the official Youtube channel "iomtt" (Isle of Man Tourist Trophy) offers beautiful slow motion. Appear successively Guy Martin (n ° 3), Ryan Farquhar (n ° 2), Michael Dunlop (n ° 9), the duo Tim Reeves / Dan Sayle (sidecar n ° 3) and Dan Kneen (n ° 8). Enjoy !
