Just watched Sunday nights BBC1 NI Coverage of the NW200 superbike race that William Dunlop won and Micheal Dunlop came second.
On the last few bends of the last lap there was a few close over takes but nothing out of the ordinary or dangerous and all fair imo and I presume the course stewards opinion was the same as mine as no inquiry was requested.
In the interview in parc ferme afterwards the BBC commentator was congratulating William Dunlop on his victory and asked if there was going to be hand shake from his brother. At this point William starts laughing in what seemed like a very nervous laugh and Micheal Dunlop leaned over and tried to whisper some thing close up into his brothers ear. Thing is the TV microphone was right there so picked up his comment which he hoped would be private and I m 99% sure Micheal said "Do that again and I'll have you"
William Dunlop immediately stopped laughing (I can only presume the laughter was nervous as he predicted his brothers reaction) and it was obvious Micheal was being hostile to say the least and in no way was it said in banter.
The BBC Commentator later questioned Micheal Dunlop on his comment and his own reply was something like "Being who I'am he should have given me more respect."
