Michael is one of the greatest motorcyclists I have ever watched, and that is many, anyone doubting that should watch the clips on him cornering in the IOM with his head in the hedge, a more dedicated man it is hard to find.
It's gas how some people in the thread are giving out about not getting to see the race because of the organisers keeping them back. It's 2024 and we still have road racing. Be thankful that it still exists in this day and age ffs.
I agree with Michael. The sighting lap is a waste of time if you've already raced, they sit on the grid for 10 minutes after the sighting lap before the race anyway.
@@johntate5050 exactly. How many others received that penalty? None! Because everyone performed the sighting lap. You can disagree with rules all you like. But they’re the rules when you enter that you agree to abide by.

grow up, it's the same for everyone...in pretty much every MC series, if you don't make the sighting/warm up lap, you then start from the back of the grid....right?
This is typical of the organisers of the event who have never ever rode or ever raced one! Michael knows the course inside out & for a rider who can Lap the more difficult IOM AT OVER 136MPH The NW is a MOTORWAY! Stupid rule the rider should decide about his warm up lap!
Well his dad knew IoM track as well and lost his life at another track, his brother as well so it's not all about knowing one track but about knowing them all. Also where there are rules they are same for everyone! I do like Michael tho, this isn't comment against him but probably decision was in his best interest.
Why wouldn’t he return to the NW. everybody else did the sighting lap, that’s the rules. Very rude person you are all over UA-cam when it comes to the NW organisers. Everything ok with you.
They did a sighting lap, (warm up lap), then the race started but was red flagged during the 1st lap. When the race restarted the riders were told that the full 6 laps would be ran instead of 5. Dunlop went to the pits, they did a 2nd sighting lap and then lined up on the grid for the restart. They then asked Dunlop to remove his bike and that he wasn't allowed to race because he had ran the obligatory sighting lap. Apparently he thought that because they'd already done one sighting lap, they didn't need to do a 2nd and was so disqualified
Irwin is the only one really cares about winning NW200 the rest are there to prep for TT. By the way, you know who's on course to be rider with most TT wins??
He a great Talented road racing no doubt about that, but he plays the hard man to the crowd's and media I think he likes attention especially if he not winning! He got the talent like his uncle Joey but unfortunately not the character.
eeuuu.no.what the hell are you talking about....Mike pitbull dunlop IS the northwest 200 and the public LOVES him dearly like he is ,he is authentic,he is true,what you see is what you get,and we all love him like he is.
@@ononewheellad all the northwest 200 staff are homologated control freaks toped with idiotic imbeciles,and they made the proof of that fact multiple times in the recent past
i cant believe some comments from idiots on here making out Dunlop has been wronged in some way. Have YOU heard of a thing called RULES. they are a set of conditions laid down for EVERYONE. even though i think michael can ride a bit He has been a complete dick. ALl these comments about dont be surprised if he doesnt come back to nw200. i would be more worried if Hickman or irwan werent coming back because .michael a tier below ghem boys at NW200. If michael dunlop had anything about him he would publicly apologise and admit his m8stake. BUT HE WONT
I like Lee Johnston doing the commentary he's not PC lol.
All three commentators were great to be honest
The General is top class
Lee Johnson for tt commentary hopefully
Definitely. Great addition wasn't he
That’s all he’s good at

armoy runs double the amount of races in a day, no commercial nonsense in between races.
Michael Dunlop is the greatest motorcycling racer of our age.
I agree with Michael. The sighting lap is a waste of time if you've already raced, they sit on the grid for 10 minutes after the sighting lap before the race anyway.
You can agree but the rules say he needed to complete the lap.
He's experienced enough to know what the rules are and what the penalty is if you break them.
@@johntate5050 exactly. How many others received that penalty? None! Because everyone performed the sighting lap. You can disagree with rules all you like. But they’re the rules when you enter that you agree to abide by.
Was Hicky here, I've haven't seen him in any of the clips?
He was yeah, did the Supertwins, Supersport and Superbike/stock on his own machinery.
He’s literally in the first 10 seconds of this video and he’s in it a few times after. He’s wearing the Swan sponsored helmet.
@@jfoz7602 thanks, I was expecting his turquoise, white and black scheme, of his BSB colors. I did see the swan colors in the next video CaPow posted... 👍
yes running an ilegal supertwin
@@dougmcdougalson please explain...
Fair play to Michael he's in great shape these days, looking fit
That was a disgrace stopping Michael .. omg he already did the sighting lap before the red flag!!! Sometimes the rules are bonkers
It would be unfair to the other riders! It's the same rule's for them all regardless of who they are 🤷 as it should be.
Plus, in the need for organization and safety you have to penalize stragglers.
same rules for everyone surely ?
Hardly the first time MD has an issue,not that I don't love him
He's the best driver I ever seen for sure.😡🏆
I haven't seen him on 4 wheels so cant comment so it is
@@theshrew69 Gets me every time 🙄
Should've disqualified him for his front wheel not being in the marker box when he pulled off. 😃

Are you arguing one rule for Michael, another for the less experienced? Correct decision.
Well his dad knew IoM track as well and lost his life at another track, his brother as well so it's not all about knowing one track but about knowing them all.
Also where there are rules they are same for everyone! I do like Michael tho, this isn't comment against him but probably decision was in his best interest.
North west are not muppets,disrespectful message that
Don’t be suprised if u don’t see him back at the NW200. TT is his main priority. He doesn’t care abt these muppets.
Why wouldn’t he return to the NW. everybody else did the sighting lap, that’s the rules. Very rude person you are all over UA-cam when it comes to the NW organisers. Everything ok with you.
It's the 2nd biggest road racing event in the world.
You're the only Muppet here.
Ahh it's a great warm up for the TT. He'll be back and it takes balls as an organiser to penalise a Dunlop but rules are rules
He'll not miss it, boring track, shite for spectators and still ropey organising, always an issue...
@@johncreamer3318 and shit racing. UGP was alot better racing than Northwest will ever be
MD needs to drop the rebel act. He is good enough without the drama
Que ha sucedido

@@andythurlow1614Thanks for the clarification
@andythurlow1614 :
you wrote : ."..because he had ran the obligatory sighting lap.."
So why was he disqualified , I don' t get it...🤔
Lee did awesome 👍
some boy 🤙
He has
Earned
The respect they should have for him
There are rules for a reason. He isnt exempt, although he thinks he is.
hickman seems to be too
Md the king of the road
Anyone any good at lip reading? Wonder what was said 🤔😂
He asked what did I do?
Pretty sure Michael called him a dickhead at one point lol and one of the other other fellas definitely mentioned the word Fu@ker
Hard to find someone fluent in Ballymoney lipreading though. Them men don't move the mouth a lot when they talk you know
@@meekyman you can hear him saying it lol
I think he’s just a bit humped because he was so far off the pace compared to Todd and Irwin. Every dog has his day.
Lol just wait for the TT he'll be back
Irwin is the only one really cares about winning NW200 the rest are there to prep for TT. By the way, you know who's on course to be rider with most TT wins??
@@meekymannorth west track is in no way comparable to the TT, NW more of a road short circuit wher as the TT a hardcore road race.
🤣🤣🤣💪💪💪💪💪💪

Acting like a child. Not the first time lol
That music and ❤️ was gay af
That was the point, it was taking the piss a little
Rules apply for everybody on the grid.
With this attitude it will be tough for MD6 to score win #26 on the Isle of Man.
Do you talk much shite?
Hhahahahah nw200 e isla de man son 2 cosas muy distintas amigo

This aged well 😂
😂
Micheal only had a superstock engine whereas Todd, hickey and irwin had superbike engines
Hicky had a sb engine? Don't think so. Pretty sure FHO (not there this year) do his sb and his own team do his stocker.
The tt is going down the wokey cokey path, led by the voice.
Meh, he gets angry at everything. He's a strange kind of adult.
Try doing what he does, then you can judge.
Humble he is not...
Intelligent you are not…..

You can't educate pork....
@@zacharyradford5552Why would you be so rude to shanestewart, it’s a long standing rule that a sighting lap must be completed before a total restart.
