Michael Dunlop celebrated victory in the Superbike class at the Frohburg Road Races in Germany on Sunday.

Dunlop, who was riding a BMW S1000RR in Rico Penzkofer’s Penz13.com team alongside Canadian Dan Kruger, scaled the top step in the final premier class race - the second leg of the Joey Dunlop Trophy - battling all the way with Didier Grams.

The event hosted the final round of the 2014 International Road Racing Championship and Grams secured the title after winning yesterday’s first Superbike race narrowly from Johan Fredricks, who took the runner-up spot.

Dunlop, who won the Superbike and Senior races for BMW at the Isle of Man TT in June, finished one second behind Grams in the opening race but came out on top in the final race to finish the weekend’s action on a high.

He was made to work hard for the victory by Belgian rider Grams and Dunlop now joins his uncle Joey, dad Robert and brother William on the winners’ list at the German meeting.
