Long may he reign, i really hope Michael keeps this momentum for many years to come.

[@RRFriction]

This aged well look at him now he's flying in the TT 👍

[@ragereset2795]

Wait till this year.

[@Redeye_dyes]

How about now 🫡🤘🤘

[@forddriver8827]

I understand people wanting photos, but I have too much respect to interrupt anybody before their day has started. MD will always be the man for mine. On a side note, when will ARAI do a MD replica?

[@MrJeff622]

Yeah I agree, asking for photos when he's concentrating.

[@forddriver8827]

@Pross Brown A man of many words.😂

[@davidcommons1328]

MD is an all time legend, gives 110% every lap

[@GEORGIABOY23]

111%

[@joshuaman1126]

Good work, that’s racing and no one knows it more than Dunlop

[@andrewoverton5170]

MD is what the TT is all about

[@labinott]

Without Dunlop’s road racing would never be the same !… respect to each and every pilot who steps in road to race 🙏… they are inspiration to me of “what it takes to be successful in life”… love them all ❤💎🙏🙇‍♂️

[@jdahack7367]

He's the best road racer alive.

[@allanbuchan6947]

He is now .

[@maxflight777]

I really admire Michael! Not only a super competitive individual, but a smart businessman who is wise with money too.

[@danielyeo6777]

Dunlop and the Isle of Man A bikers Paradise Ride Safe To All.

[@Ofthe7thSon]

Having read MD’s book “Road Racer” my respect for him and the Dunlop clan was at an all time high - and his amazing feats on this little island alone make he a legend of ALL motorsports…!!!

[@michaelmckenna2882]

I read that book too, it gave me a greater respect for him as well. LEGEND.

[@ragereset2795]

He’ll eclipse John this year. No doubt about it.

[@derekbond3512]

@@ragereset2795 You mean Joey 🤔

[@RG-ja34sep]

He’s the undisputed “King of the Mountain”! Michael is the number one motorsports competitor in the world! Better than F1, Moto GP or any other form of motorsports! Legend, Icon and Superstar! The Isle Of Man TT is the ultimate combination of man and machine! Massive respect to all the competitors!

[@paddymccann5526]

U gotta respect all riders that has de to pull up to that startline of the TT and the Manx GP.

[@jonty4664]

Proper legend 👊🏻✊🏻

[@GEORGIABOY23]

Legend

[@NorthernIrelandConflictVideos]

doing the family proud

[@conradgibson5660]

One of northern Ireland's finest

[@will.134]

It would grind my gears people asking for pictures just before a race, just let the man have a his own space and silence !

[@GEORGIABOY23]

He needs to feel the love ..could be his last hug…and it comes with being a legend.

[@gazza1858]

@Pross Brown Why just walk round the paddock when racing not on , you’ll always find the riders who will give time for a photo & autograph.

[@CarlosCostaX]

That's one of the reasons why you can't compare the IOM TT with any other racing event.

[@GEORGIABOY23]

@@CarlosCostaX would you rather meet Dunlop or Rossi?

[@CarlosCostaX]

@@GEORGIABOY23 I met Michael Dunlop, been fortunate enough to be with the Man for a few times. Never met Rossi though. But to be honest I'm not a chasing idols kind of person.

[@regtheripper9789]

Michael and carl cox are the winning team just brilliant

[@subman6515]

What an amazing legacy for Joey, Robert and William. Long may it continue

[@duanecarroll6425]

He,s a legend 🙌

[@markstone3938]

Read his book brilliant read in getting to his life. Legend already

[@liamevans4124]

Those lads with their lanyards round their neck probably need to learn when to approach a rider pre race.

[@jamesowen4360]

Exactly, 10 mins prior to a race.. one of the biggest races in the world. Yeh leave him be

[@FrostyWhe3ls]

Mad part is he’s trying to avoid them. His body language is so inward and he is clearly trying to focus. Crazy they’re allowed to at that point. Really his team should be stopping those guys for him

[@classicraceruk1337]

That super twin sounded like a Manx and a Goldie in one engine as the throttle blipped …..cool

[@Ak11_media]

Screaming for the oil flag instantly so the other riders don’t have an incident is sportsmanship on another level

[@dalvinsingh]

God bless you, ride safe and have fun,,.

[@GEORGIABOY23]

Ride safe? 😂

[@bluebee7689]

The one and only lone wolf Michael dunlop. Legend

[@jeanbidolat349]

I asked me what time of bike is it, look like a FB mondial 300cc or something

[@AshokKumar-ek7ec]

Hi TT kings

[@gosoku2771]

What kind of tires is he using? Thanks

[@lucianorb3096]

[@niglo.dilo.]

Une légende

[@ryanthailand]

Why they take so long to get the oil flag out?

[@mattwoodproperty]

How is the Marshall supposed to know the reason for retirement?

[@amyone4942]

[@erikvanlaar8110]

Why did he retire?

[@6AL-4V]

Balls like Church bells……

[@wlmedia2.0]

Jamie Coward was absolutely shitting himself when his bike went pop with the oil on the track

[@romaindelanoue4541]

Super intéressant. On s aperçoit mieux comment ça marche

[@stevennewman8276]

Do they issue penalties on pit road?

[@mikefandango294]

Not much being said but Michael is going to beat Joey’s record and with less classes as well ( with him not competing in the Electric class).

[@dallankeaney8419]

Well said .gohn mcguiness nice man but his 2 electric tt wins shud not really count compared to the battle micheal had with Dean and hickman in senior

[@steve00alt70]

Do not skip out on doing your safety checks around your bikes or it could be fatal just like William's fatal crash.

[@lold6130]

The TT wouldn't be the same without a Dunlop racing.

[@geoffnelson6756]

For me, Michael is just too laid back and easy going on the bike, if he would just 'have a go''

[@sthildas4857]

He is on it, as he says watch any race with him in it..

[@Letsgetiton41]

You are being sarcastic surely 😂

[@geoffnelson6756]

@@Letsgetiton41 eh! Yes, MD will 'have a go' on a new bike, in the wet, injured.

[@brickalbert7031]

FIA: We need to stop this, it`s too dangerous. Isle of man: How fast can u go?- YES

[@forddriver8827]

Thankfully the FIA has no say.

[@nicethings2070]

With injuries comes litigation. Agreements to limit liability for injury are strongly disfavored by courts. Even well-drafted releases and waivers can be invalidated as contrary to public policy. The Supreme Court rejected the traditional approach in an opinion which should certainly trouble organizers of sport activities. The court concluded that the owner was in a superior bargaining position because the plaintiff had "no meaningful alternative to defendant's take-it-or-leave-it terms” The court relied heavily on the company's duty of reasonable care "to avoid creating risks of harm to its business invitees”. Perversely, this division essentially immunizes the biggest risk-takers from the release of liability contained in the release agreement they are forced to sign. High rates of participation helped the court invalidate the agreement. The release of liability violates public policy. In essence, the court found it inequitable for the company to invite large numbers of people to a hazard it created, and then disclaim any liability for resulting injuries. Lawsuits to come.
