Guy Martin seized his first major international victory of 2012 in a dramatic Superbike race after Michael Dunlopꦗ crashed on the penultimate lap.

Tyco Suzuki's Martinඣ and Dunlop on his Honda Fireblade had been contesting the lea🐬d when the young Ulsterman lost the front end on lap six of seven at the hairpin.

That left Martin out on his own and he wrapped up victory in the main Ulst🔥er Grand 🐼Prix Superbike race by a significant margin over Gary Johnson on Clive Padgett's Honda.

Manx rider Conor Cummins took third to make it two Tyco Suzuk♛i machines on the rostrum as he crossed the line in a comfortable third place from Bruce Anstey on the second of Padgett's Honda machines.

Martin, who🌞 was also a winner in the Superbike class at Dundrod in 2011, was to🐼asting his eighth career triumph at the Ulster GP.

The popular Lincolnshire rider has a superb record at Dundrod, where he🎶 won four races in a day on the AIM Yamaha machines in 2006.

Martin was always pr🅷ominent in the race, leading for most of 𝓰the first five laps until Dunlop came through to put the English star under pressure.

Dunlop took the lead at the start of the sixth lap but Martin forced his way back to the fr🉐ont at Joey's Windmill.

As the flying duo approached the hairpin for the penultimate time, Dunlop⛄ appeared ♊to tuck the front end of his Honda, leaving Martin in the clear.

Dunlop is nursing a sore back after suffeಞring two slipped discs las𝕴t month.

He passed a medical after🐻 his crash and will compete in the final two races of the day, the second Supersport and Superbike events.
