The Dund🐭rod 150 road race is considered as a warm-up for the Ulster Grand Prix which will be held this coming Saturday. It 🐷is a good way of judging the racing to come and this time round it was a dramatic race.
HM Plant Honda's Ian Hutchinson lead for four out of five laps but it was Guy Martin who came home in the top s✅pot. Martin put a hard, ✃but what he considered fair move on Hutchinson at the high speed Joey's Windmill corner to take the lead.
Hutchinson wasn't happy with the movꦛe which ultimately relegated him to third place as his team-mate John McGuinness also managed to pass him.
"I lined him up out of Budore and into the Windmill. I'm here to race so fair enou𒅌gh," said Martin, "I want tꦇo win as much as the next man, if that is what it is going to have to take, then that is what it will have to take. So I'll carry on riding like that."
Fast Australian, Cameron Donald was in fourth place on the Uel Duncan Honda, he was just ahead of 🐼fellow antipodean Bruce Anstey🅠 on the Relentless Suzuki. Young Manx Man, Conor Cummins, who is making a name for himself on the pure roads was in sixth place.
Keith Amor on the AIM Yamaha was in seventh, h𒁃e felt he could have had a better finish but a big moment which saw him run wide and onto the grass slowed his pace somewhat.
The🅰 second Relentless machine in the hands of Adrian Archibald was in eigಞht with William Dunlop in ninth while Martin Finnegan completed the top ten.
The first new comer over the line was Gary Johnson on the Speedfreaks Yamaha in thirteenth place. He qualified in fifteenth but due to an official hic-up on the grid he had to start from two rows further back. He showed impressive form at thꦉe TT and is hoping to follow it up with a similar result on his Ulster Grand Prix debut.
