ROADS: Dunlop wins at Armoy – two weeks (and a bit) after breaking his pelvis

Michael Dunlop won both Superbike races at the Armoy Road Races at the weekend, just 16 days after breaking his pelvis at the Southern 100. Dunlop, who had to use crutches to help him walk, beat Derek Sheils and Derek McGee to secure his eighth successive ‘Race of Legends’ win.

The Tyco BMW rider earlier beat Sheils and Sweeney to win the Open Superbike race. The victories were Dunlop’s 18th and 19th around his home circuit at Armoy. The 19-times TT winner dominated the racee win by 4.4 seconds from the in-form Sheils in the Open race, making it an impressive double by winning the final race of the day.
