Hat-aboy, Michael

HATS off (both of them) to Michael Dunlop for winning the prestigious Senior TT last Friday.

Legendary DJ Carl Cox, pictured with Dunlop, left, is a massive bike racing fan and invests a great deal of his hard-earned into the sport. He’s been backing the Ulsterman this year.

It was Dunlop’s first TT on Suzuki’s new GSX-R1000.

He stamped his mark on the race after his main rival Ian Hutchinson crashed out.

The accident caused the race to be red-flagged but Dunlop took victory in the re-started four-lapper.

Hutchinson broke his left femur in six places and smashed his already pretty wrecked left ankle to smithereens.

That’s going to smart a bit…
