UGP: Hutchinson heads Dundrod.

HM Plant Honda's Ian Hutchinson posted the fastest lap of the world's fastest road racing circuit during qualifying for the Dundrod 150. This is the race event leads into the Ulster Grand Prix which takes place this coming Saturday.

Heavy showers have disrupted the afternoon and kept a ceiling on the lap times, Hutchinson managed the first 120mph lap of the event but should the weather clear up 130mph is easily achievable.

Running in second place was Hydrex Honda's Guy Martin who took four race wins at the Ulster Grand Prix last year and is very much the man to beat. He was followed by road racing veteran, Ian Lougher on the Stobart Honda.

Keith Amor had a good run on the AIM Yamaha finishing in fourth place, this is only his second time here but he is on a confidence high and hoping to get a result.

Privateer, James McBride on his JV Racing Yamaha put in a sterling performance to take a fighting fifth. Road race regular Adrian Archibald on the Relentless Suzuki was in sixth ahead of Aussie wild man Cameron Donald who is riding for the Uel Duncan Honda team.

Local riders James Redpath and Michael Pearson took up eight and ninth place while Isle of Man TT hero Paul Hunt completed the top ten.
