Michael Dunlop says he had a blipper issue from the start of Tuesday’s Isle of Man TT Sup🦋erstock 🍸race, which left him a distant third on his MD Racing BMW.

The 30-time TT winner hasn’t had an eas🍰y event on his new BMW M1000RR, and hadn’t completed many laps on is Superstock-spec bike through practice.

Despite this, BMW has been dominant in that class in recent years and Dunlop was still pegged as ༺a pre-race favourite.

But he was out of the podium places in the early portion of the first lap, before eventually getting to third - albeit over 30 seconds from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:race winner Dean Harrison.

Dunlop says he suffered an electronics issue off the line, which meant his blipper stopped workin꧂g proꦆperly, while he also felt the shortened two-lap distance worked against him.

“We ended up with an electronic issue,” he told TT+✅.

“We w♍ent off the line and it sꦰeemed to get stuck in launch control for some reason, and the blipper stopped working [and was] intermittent.

“So, it caused us a bit of pain, but𒉰 in fairness to Dean [H🌞arrison] – fair play to him.

“I knew Dean would do thꦜe first lap great – we knew that, everybody knew that.

“My first lap was horrific,🥃 obviously, just not knowing w🐼hen the bike was blipping and when it wasn’t blipping.

“You use the clutch and it does [automatically] blip, it just sends it 😼off a wee bit.

“The bike had it’s issues, again probably the lack of [track] time probably didn’t help 𒐪us. The two-lap races don’t really – I struggle a wee bit with them.”

Dunlop noted after🅠 Monday’s Superbike ꦕTT, in which he was second, that he “blew a hole” in the rear tyre on the last lap.

ཧHe said this issue happened again in the Supersto🍃ck race, which is proving hard to solve as “we don’t get any support” from Dunlop at the event.

“We’re still creating the same issues, but i💮t’s just the way it is, it’s what we have to deal with at the minute,” he said when asked about his rear tyre.

“We just don’t get any support, 🤪so we just have to battle through it ourselves and 𝄹try and come up with a solution.”
