When Joey Dunlop took his 26th TT win and set a long-standing record, I was seven years old and heard about it on the news. Even then, I knew he wasn't supposed to win any more TT races, not at 48. But there was something magical about that man when he suited up for his final TT.
Little did I know I'd be 31 when someone finally broke Joey's record and that it'd be his nephew, Micael Dunlop. Michael took home his 27th TT victory when he won the Supertwin class today, making him unquestionably the new king of the mountain course. It's easy to say we saw this coming after he took the opening Supersport race or even after seeing his form last year.
