Dunlop ended the event with four wins, one short of the all-time record for the most victories (26) held by his legendary 🌳uncle Joey Dunlop.

He lost out to Peter Hickman in the event-closing Senior TT, a race where he could have equalled his uncle’s all-tim⛎e tally, but has now revealed what went w🥃rong.

♎"I thought we would have definitely gone quicker,” he said. 

“I ma🦩de an error on my own behalf. I tried something.

"I thought the pace would be a lot quicker than it was. But that didn't ဣhappen.

"I thought we should have been well into the 136mph, but for some reason the pace s🌃lowed down a wee bit. I don't know why.

"I thought the pace would be a lot quicker and we made a wee change t✤o allow for that. I think we just lost 🐈a bit of grip or something.

"The boys were pushing hard, we knew tha𝕴t. It took me a lap or two to get into it.

"We ran out of a bit of scope, really."

A change tꦺo his front suspension 🍸at the second pitstop failed to help Dunlop make up time on Hickman or Dean Harrison in front of him.

"We struggled and there is only so much you can do with the tool🀅s during a pit stop,” Dunlop said.&ꦺnbsp;

“But that's just the way it was.

"We always try to go faster and we had to try somethiꦍng."

Still, history beckons Dunlop in 2024.

“We have won four this week,” he reflected. 

“Which is pretty good. We could have won more, we could have won le൲ss.

"That's just the way the game goes."
