HICKMAN VS JOHNSTON - BEST LAP DUNDROD HAS EVER SEEN? - Ulster Grand Prix 2019

[@mcspiffington]

The Ulster GP is one of the most underrated motosport races in the world. Absolutely incredible, I hope they save it for future years.

[@KristianKG]

Ulster GP is the fastest road race in th World! Faster than IOM TT!

[@Anyonewhos]

Not only was it a real race but what a nice humble victory. Both riders are class anyway we all know that. But that last lap, the aggressive style and limitations pushed to win was awesome to see. It's a shame you can't share first place sometimes. Well done guy's and thank you for the entertainment

[@jerome2963]

Congratulations to all these riders who in my opinion are carrying on the purest tradition of motorbike racing. Don't get me wrong, I like Motogp but these road races with "modest machines" and "braver than ever riders" are for me the pure essence of this sport. Greetings from France.

[@raynic1173]

This production should be nominated for an award. Excellent camera coverage and choices!

[@derekbond3512]

This was a privilege to witness this outstanding ride by Peter Hickman, magic, not taking anything away from Lee Johnston, this was awesome to see.

[@richardsracingmad]

Lee J is a true sportsman- gracious in defeat, and one of the best road jockeys.

[@pedrosemedo9492]

Best lap ever, for sure. They must have steel balls to ride side-by-side at 170/180 MPH on public roads. I love road racing and have the greatest respect for everyone of them and what they do. Thanks for sharing👍

[@raynic1173]

well not quite...maybe 160 tops, lol.

[@raynic1173]

[@mikefandango294]

@@raynic1173 different gearing on these bikes. They where clocked at 175mph at the fastest part of the track during this race. They loose out on acceleration but gain on top end, because it’s such a fast track you gain having a top end bike. Not that many slow corners!

[@raynic1173]

@@mikefandango294 I'd have to see another source to believe that. It takes more than gearing to go that fast, it takes HP to push the air.

[@brooksobrien5290]

I was at this race and was at Irelands corner during this race and the crowd was definitely pulling for local hero Lee Johnston. Dundrod is the best circuit on the planet, better than the TT which is a time trial not an actual race like this. I posted an 80 miniute vid of my view of the Ulster GP, unfortunately this event may never happen again after the 97th UGP.

[@chrisclifford4109]

Hoping they can find a way to save it!

[@mattmid7012]

I so hope they can get this race back going again. Best mass start race in the world.

[@88pedro888]

Maybe the best footage but we've seen many great battles around what is possibly the best natural race track in the world.

[@derekcomer4858]

Lee is such a class act, clearly gutted here but humble and gracious towards Peter. Such trust between them to ride like this 👍

[@lockk405]

8:35 Straight fire shooting out the exhaust from gearing down.

[@timothyvaher2421]

You Know! I caught a glimpse of that and thought 💭... A glitch?! Only happens with Methanol drag bikes? Hickman Was breathing fire 🔥 😤 to get around Lee Johnston 😮☝️😎🙏

[@allenhanford]

I am so glad I went to see this when it was still happening. I saw the NW200 a couple of years ago and I preferred the UGP hands down. Watch right from the edge of the course, walk on it between races, fantastic.

[@andrew097]

What is wrong with the young men of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales that they come up with this racing. Years and years ago I was walking around a field that was pretending to be the motorbike pits in Skerries. Standing in front of me queueing getting a cuppa from a coffee van was Joey. It was the most casual thing I had every seen, a absolute sporting icon waiting like everyone else and then goes racing.
