Lincolnshire's Ivan Lintin took the final podium position. Michael Dunlop slid off at Ballabeg on lap three while holding third spot after winning the earlier 1000cc race. Ballymoney man Dunlop edged out Martin by 0.08 seconds in the 1000cc event with Dean Harrison a further 1.6 seconds back. Lintin clinched his second Supertwins victory of the week, finishing ahead of James Cowton and Jamie Coward.
