I disagree, I forget when it was, though not that long ago, that Michael Dunlop stated he kept out of another riders race because they were ahead on time and he didn't want to spoil their race - he just tagged onto the back of them at a safe distance. No surprise really, despite his image Michael seems like the ultimate gent on the race track - odd considering his brash demeanor and sometimes fighting /aggressive talk.

I think it was with Gary Johnson in last years Supersport race. Michael also shows marshals and other riders a lot of respect when yellow flags are out.
