27-year-old Michael Dunlop reset his lap record at the 37.73-mile Snaefell Mountain Course on the Isle of Man on Friday en route to winning the 2016 Isle of Man PokerStars Senior TT.

Dunlop, riding a Hawk BMW, led Tyco BMW’s Ian Hutchinson home in second and Honda Racing CBR’s John McGuinness in third. Dunlop’s margin of victory was 31.476 seconds after six laps around the infamous track.
