    Peter Hickman and Michael Dunlop had their rear tyres explode at speed during racing at the NW200 last weekend in Northern Ireland, Davey Todd lost out on a definite and well deserved podium when his front tyre delaminated, destroying the mudguard and then deflating completely

    Anyone running Dunlop tyres was advised NOT to compete in the final race, although Glenn Irwin nonetheless managed to take the new Fireblade to his sixth Superbike consecutive win at the NW200



    The statement from Dunlop about the situation is in this video
