Isle of Man TT 2023: Dunlop DNF, Hickman Menangi Race 2 Supertwin
Dunlop memimpin di lap pertama ketika dia secara mengejutkan berhenti karena masalah mekanis pada Paton-nya. Beberapa saat kemudian, balapannya berakhir.
Itu berarti Dunlop tidak bisa menyamai rekor 26 kemenangan TT sepanjang masa yang dipegang pamannya Joey, seperti yang diharapkan penonton pada Jumat sore.
Dia hanya akan memiliki satu kesempatan lagi di acara tahun ini untuk mengklaim satu kemenangan yang dibutuhkan untuk menyamai rekor - TT Senior pada hari Sabtu.
Mike Browne mendapat untung dari tersingkirnya Dunlop untuk memimpin dan dia tampaknya siap untuk kemenangan TT pertamanya.
Tapi, 16,599 detik di depan, dia mundur di akhir lap kedua dengan masalah pada Paton-nya.
"Koplingnya hilang - saya sedang merawatnya tetapi semakin buruk dan semakin buruk," reaksi Browne.
Hickman kemudian melaju pulang untuk kemenangan keduanya pada hari Jumat - setelah memenangkan balapan Superstock di hari yang sama - dan kemenangan TT ke-12 dalam karirnya.
Pierre Yves Bian di urutan kedua, Josh Brookes di urutan ketiga. Dominic Herbertson siap naik podium sampai dia berhenti lebih awal.
