Michael Dunlop paid an emotional tr💞🦄ibute to his uncle Joey after equalling his record of Isle of Man TT race wins.

Dunlop’s Supersport Race 1 victory on Saturday was his 26th at the TT, matching the record his uncle 🍬set.

But after his 26th win, Dunlop remembered his uncle Joey who died 24 years whi🉐le road racing.

"It takes a bit of the pressure off now,” Dunlop told BBC Northern Ireland. “It's something that has been lo𒁏oming now♈ for a full year so it's good to get it.

"Everyone waꦚnts to strive to be Joey round here and to be there now, to be one of the most successful around the TT circuit, to share it with Joey, is an honourᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ.

"Regarding what happens for the rest of ♏the week now, I don't care.

"I've got different emotions. One of my biggest supporters was my granny and it's a pity I d♒idn🌺't do it last year for her to see it."

He will have seven more chances to b♍ecome the TT’s most s💞uccessful-ever rider this year.

Dunlop said: "I will give the next seven races 110 per cent, we've got to keep pushing. Winning races is what I'm here to do, whe😼ther it be one or eight♉.

"There is always pressure to win round the Isle of Man and to do it all ourselves and work really hard at it, I think 🌳we do a good job."

The ౠTT runs until Saturday 8 June, when the Senior TT - the most prestigious race of them all - is held. Dunlop will compete in the Senior TT.
