Michael Dunlop is back on the top of the podium, taking his 19th career TT win riding the Paton 650 to victory in the Lightweight TT.
Dunlop out-dueled Jamie Coward in the two-lap race, the two riders within a couple of seconds apart the whole time. After the first lap, Dunlop held a 0.748 second advantage over Coward with Lee Johnston in third.

Coward and Dunlop swapped the lead between them on the second lap, with Dunlop gaining a 1.4 second lap at Ramsey as they both made their down the final stretch. Dunlop crossed the line just short of his own Lightweight TT lap record but had to wait to see Coward’s time. When Coward finally crossed, he was 1.299 seconds slower, giving Dunlop his 19th TT victory.
Despite falling short of the win, Coward achieved a personal best with his first career TT podium. Johnston completed the podium in third.
