Guy Martin celebrates after his victory in the Ulster Grand Prix

Guy Martin and Conor Cummins both took Superbike wins at Saturday's Ulster Grand Prix at Dundrod.

Cummins came home ahead of Ian Hutchinson and Martin in race one while Martin beat Gary Johnson and Hutchinson in race two, with Cummins in fourth.

There was success for local riders with William Dunlop taking Supersport and 250 wins and Ryan Farquhar had Supersport and Supertwins victories.

Hutchinson set a lap record of 130.1mph in winning the Superstock race.

"I just wanted to win that bad - whatever it took I was going to win," said Hydrex Honda rider Martin, following a thrilling four-way battle at the front in the day's concluding race.

Ian Lougher was fifth and Adrian Archibald was sixth in the second Superbike outing.

Cummins secured his first victory at the Ulster GP in the opening Superbike race.

Farquhar led in the Superstocks until a crash halted proceedings midway through the race but Hutchinson set a blistering pace on the restart to take his second win at Dundrod in a race which was decided over two parts.

The overall winning margin in favour of Yorkshireman Hutchinson was 0.34 seconds.

The positions were switched for the opening Supersport 600 race although Farquhar's margin of victory over Hutchinson was just 0.001 seconds.

William Dunlop completed the podium in that event in which Scottish rider Keith Amor crashed without serious injury.

The Falkirk rider did suffer mild concussion and was ruled out of the remainder of the meeting.

William Dunlop dominated the second Supersport race and the Ballymoney rider set a lap record of 127.58mph in taking victory.

Farquhar and Bruce Anstey occupied the other rostrum positions, with Ian Lougher, Cummins and Hutchinson making up the top six.

Michael Dunlop was runner-up behind William in the 250cc race, with a backmarker ending the younger brother's chances of overtaking his sibling on the final lap. Paul owen from Wales was third.

Farquhar was a comfortable winner of the Supertwins event and was awarded the man of the meeting accolade.
