Michael Dunlop kept up his commanding form in the Supersport class at the Isle of Man TT, claiming his second win of the week in the category and raising his total career victories at the event to 35.

The Northern Ireland competitor's pair of triumphs in the middleweight category brings his Supersport TT wins to 17, with the remarkable achievement of the last 10 races in a row.

That streak of victories runs from 2022 through to today.

The second race mirrored the pattern of Tuesday's opening event, where Dunlop followed Honda Racing's Dean Harrison initially, but a faster pit stop from the Scars Racing team allowed him to take the lead and build a growing lead for a clear victory.

The 37-year-old rider finished with a winning margin of 26.126 seconds after three laps of the 37.73-mile Mountain Course, while Triumph rider Peter Hickman was another 13.5 seconds behind in third place, resulting in the same podium lineup as the first race.

Harrison held a 1.4-second lead at Glen Helen after the first lap and extended it to 3.85 seconds by The Bungalow timing point.

The lead narrowed a bit to 3.66 seconds at the end of lap one as Harrison set the quickest Supersport lap from a standing start ever at 129.218mph.

Dunlop made up five seconds during the pit stops to take the lead heading into lap two.

The Ducati V2 rider held a 16-second advantage over his closest competitor by the conclusion of the second lap and kept extending the gap until the finish.

"The career has been strong here. It's great. The bike performed exceptionally well," Dunlop told Manx Radio Motorsport following his win.

"The crew did an excellent job in the pit stop and I realized I had to improve on the second lap, so I increased my pace."

Harrison expressed being "pleased" with second place, noting his machine was "perfect" for the entire race.

"There is little one can do about it. That was the quickest I have gone on the 600 Honda, and the bike ran without any issues," he noted.

Irish rider Mike Browne finished just ahead of Paul Jordan by 0.9 seconds for fourth, while Australian Josh Brookes took sixth, 1.6 seconds behind Jordan.

The opening Sportbike race of the week begins at 15:15 BST, followed by the main Senior TT at 17:15.
