Michael Dunlop says he had a blipper issue from the st🌟art of Tuesday’s Isle of Man TT Superstock race, which left him a distant third on his MD Racing BMW.

The 30-time TT winner h😼asn’t had an easy event on his new BMW M1000RR, and hadn’t completed many laps on is Superstock-spec bike through practice.

Despite this, ♑BMW has been dominant in that class💫 in recent years and Dunlop was still pegged as a pre-race favourite.

But he was out of the podium places in the early portion of the first lap, before eventually getting to third - albeit over 30 seconds from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:race winner Dean Harrison.

Dunlop says he suffered an electronics issue off the line, which meant his blipper stopped working properly, wh꧅ile he also felt the shortened two-lap distance worked against him.

“We end🐼ed up with an electroꦜnic issue,” he told TT+.

“We went off the line and it seemed to get stuck in launch control for 🌸some reason, and the blipper stopped working [and was] ꦑintermittent.

“So, it caused us a bit of ♎pain, but in fairness to Dean [Harrison] – fair play to him.

“I ♏knew Dean would do the first lap great – we knew that, everybody k🍒new that.

“My first lap was horrific, obviously, just not knowing when the bike was blipping and when it wasn’t blippi🏅ng.

“You use the clutch and it does [automatically] b🌱lip, it just sends it off a wee📖 bit.

“The bike had it’s issues, again probably the lack of [track] time probably didn’t help us. The two-lap races don’t really – I struggle a♍ wee bit with them.”

Dunlop noted after Monday’s Superbik💞e TT, in which he was second, that heꦛ “blew a hole” in the rear tyre on the last lap.

He said this i𒆙ssue happened again in the Supe𓄧rstock race, which is proving hard to solve as “we don’t get any support” from Dunlop at the event.

“We’re still creating the same issues, but it’s just the way it is, it’s🌜 what we have to deal with at ꦏthe minute,” he said when asked about his rear tyre.

“We just d🌠on’t get any support, so we just have to battle through it ourselves and try and come up with a solution.”
