The Ballymoney man is making a rare appearance at the Co Kildare circuit as he prepares for September’s Cookstown 100 in Co Tyrone, where Dunlop is set to compete for the first time since 2018.
In Saturday’s Supersport race on the full international track at Mondello, the 19-time Isle of Man TT winner clinched second place behind runaway title leader Kevin Keyes, with only 0.7s between them.

The 31-year-old was in razor-sharp form at Armoy at the end of July– the first of only two Irish national road races in 2021 – where Dunlop broke his eight year-old lap record around the three-mile course and won the feature ‘Race of Legends’ for a record ninth successive time as part of a commanding five-timer.
