Michael Dunlop found himself trending on Twitter as he surged to another Isle of Man TT win on Wednesday.
The Ballymoney rider made it a Supersport double as he piloted his Yamaha R6 to a convincing victory in the 600 class.
Dunlop set a new lap record of 130.403 to see off Peter Hickman and Dean Harrison to notch up his fourth triumph at this week's TT.

It also extends his career tally to 25, just one behind the all-time record of his legendary uncle Joey.
"I enjoyed it. I controlled the race from the front," Dunlop said.
"I saw that I had a bit of a gap and just calmed down a bit. I then saw a bit of a push from the others and I just had to keep it rolling along.
"So I decided to push again myself, just to see. In case there were any problems.
"I cruised over the mountain after seeing I had an eight-second lead. The wee bike has been going mint and we have put a real good bike out of the workshop.
"We always work to get a better package, and the wee bike has been faultless all week. She has been mint, absolutely fantastic."
Dunlop broke the lap record on the final lap, with runner-up Hickman also breaking the 130mph mark himself.
Dunlop is now just one away from equalling Ian Hutchinson's record for most wins at a single TT (5) which has stood since 2010.
"The 600 class has been good to me over the years, so to do the double again and do a 130 lap was great. I always knew I could do a 130, so I said on the last lap that I would try and do it for the craic," Dunlop added.
"So it was a good race."
Dunlop's name was trending on Twitter during Wednesday's Supersport race, such is the interest in the Isle of Man TT and the Ballymoney rider.
He has three more races to come this week, and a chance to write his name into the history books if he can eclipse his uncle's longstanding record.
Joey Dunlop won the last of his 26 TTs back in 2000, and now another Dunlop stands on the cusp of becoming the new King of the Mountain.
Asked how it felt to be trending on social media, Dunlop joked: "I don't think I'll be a pop sensation just yet. But it has been good.
"I am always trying to push the boundaries, and to do it with a small budget team is great. Carl (Cox) has been good to me, as have my other sponsors.
"To build this bike out of a small garage is mint."
Meanwhile, in the earlier 3wheeling.media Sidecar Race Two it was the Birchall brothers - Tom and Ben - who claimed another sensational win to complete the double at this week's TT.
They broke their own lap record to ease to victory over Peter Founds/Jevan Walmsley, with Ryan and Callum Crowe third.
