TT 2012: Michael Dunlop vince la seconda gara Supersport

Michael Dunlop domina la Supersport

Nipote del grande Joey Dunlop, Michael Dunlop ha centrato la terza vittoria in carriera al Touris Trophy 2012, conquistando la seconda gara Supersport con un netto vantaggio sugli avversari. Dopo un inizio di giornata incerto dovuto al maltempo, le gare si sono disputate regolarmente e le 600 hanno chiuso il programma di giornata. Dopo 1 ora 13 minuti e 17 secondi, Michal ha tagliato il traguardo con la sua R6 con una media di 123 miglia orarie (198 km/h) anticipando Cameron Donald (Honda CBR600RR) di 13 secondi. Terzo al traguardo Ryan Farquhar con la Kawasaki, sul podio con appena 1 centesimo di vantaggio su Bruce Anstey. Quinto John McGuinness, che ha approfittato del ritiro di William Dunlop per scalare un posto in classifica. Solo 20° il nostro Stefano Bonetti, in calo nell'ultima parte di gara.
