Ulster Grand Prix double race winner Michael Dun𒁃lop has hit back at Guy Martin's post-Ulster Grand Prix jibe that he only won the 'B' race at theꦕ international meeting.

Tyco Suzuki rider Martin tasted victory in the feature✤ Superbi♋ke event after Dunlop slid off his Honda Fireblade on the penultimate lap.

Dunlop made amends by defeating Martin in a spectacular final-lap confrontation in the second race to earn 💙the first major international superbike r🃏ace win of his career.

But in an official Tyco Suzuki press statement issued afterwards, Martin was quoted as sayi⛄ng: "No-one comes to win the 'B' race, do th♔ey?"

Martin - toasting his firs♍t big international success since he won the second Supeꩲrbike race at Dundrod a year ago - added: "It's been a great week at Dundrod and it's always the job to win the main Ulster Grand Prix Superbike race.

"I did my best in the second Superbike race to also take the win but if you're going to win one at Dundrod, the main race is ꦏthe most important.

"No one comes to win the 'B' race do they?"

Dunlop - who also claimed victory in the Superstock race and set the fastest overall lap of the day at 133.435mph🐷 - had this to say in response.

"The main thing on Saturday was to win a Superbike race and I did it. Guy Martin and the Tyco boys have been doing all this talking about winning the blue riband race, but nobody cares who won the middle race - everyone in the pub on Saturday ni𝔉ght would have been talkin♉g about who won the last race," the Ulster rider told the Belfast News Letter.

"That's the one everyone remembers and Guy wouldn't hav🅰e won the big race if I hadn't made a stupid mistake.

"I proved that in the second race because there were no excus🉐es, it was me and Guy on the last lap, no backmarkers, and I knew I 🐬had him.

"Guy said no-🌊one wa🅰nts to win the 'B' race, but they did enough celebrating last year when he won the 'B' race," added the 23-year-old.

"They can say what they want, but all the talking was done on the last lap i𓂃n the last race of the day.

"They needed to win that sec🏅ond Superbike race badly to prove that Guy would have won the first race anyway, but I spoiled the whole show for them," said Dunlop, who received pain-killing injections on Saturday, when he was riding with two slipped discs in his back.

"I had a lot more corner speed than Guy but he was good on the brakes and he kept jamming it up the inside of me when I came past b𒁏ecause he knew I'd pull away.

"You take it from me, Guy Martin tried his hardest on that lastꦯ lap in the second superbike race to be beat me, but he hadn't a mission," he said.

"Guy's b🌠est circuit is Dundrod and that was his best cha🌺nce of getting a win this year, but now he knows he's got me to deal with around there."
