Dunlop Dominate the
ulster Gp with seven wins.
“the ultimate test of race to
roaD technoloGy transfer”
Dunlop shod bikes won seven of the eight
feature races at the Ulster Grand Prix – the
world’s fastest road race.
With average lap speeds of over 133 mph
on the undulating public roads of Country
Antrim in Northern Ireland, the races are a
real test of speed and durability for riders,
bikes and tyres.
Stepping up to the challenge, Dunlop shod
bikes won seven of the eight feature races,
with Michael Dunlop being the hero of the
event, appropriately choosing Dunlop as his
tyre partner on his way to three wins in both
Supersport races and the Superstock race.
Ian Lougher (250cc) and Bruce Anstey
(Superbike) were the other big Dunlop shod
winners of the weekend. Dunlop tyres also
set the fastest lap time in every single race at
the event.
“We had great results for the Dunlop
teams in very trying and difficult conditions,”
said Pat Walsh, Motorcycle Sales Manager,
Dunlop Motorsport.

“Mixed weather meant we had no dry
running time all week up till race day on
Saturday. Wets, intermediates and dry tyres
were used on race day, with heavy showers
all morning. It is in these conditions we apply
our experience and knowledge to help the
riders choose their tyres.
“With the races taking place on slippery
public roads, this is the ultimate test of our
race to road technology transfer – particularly
in the classes where road legal treaded tyres
are needed and our D211 excels. To clinch
fastest lap in every category was a stunning
result for our Motorsport development team.”
