Oversby third

Michael Dunlop has won the 350cc Junior Classic TT, after what was very much a tale of two manufacturers.

Dunlop was on an MV Agusta, which needed to pit, Michael Rutter rode a Honda, which was able to get around the four laps without having to go in to refuel or anything.

That happened at the end of lap two, with Dunlop going into the pits and Rutter able to sail straight through, going from being seven seconds behind to more than 30 seconds ahead.

But that lead was down to just shy of 14 seconds at the start of the fourth and final lap.

By Ballaugh, Dunlop had the lead by two seconds and brought his machine home safely to take the chequered flag: (play audio)

Rutter took the consolation of second, Alan Oversby was third.
