Cummins set a new lap record of 133.28mph during Dunrod 150

Isle of Man rider Conor Cummins says the key ingredient to his success at Saturday's Ulster Grand Prix in Northern Ireland was confidence.

The 23-year-old won the Dundrod 150 last Thursday before going on to win Saturday's first Superbike race.

Cummins told Manx Radio: "It was brilliant to win the Dunrod 150 but to win the Suberbike race was something very special.

"Sitting on pole was nerve-wracking but I just had to get my head down."

"I pushed and pushed and pushed and luckily it came off, I knew I was in a race with Guy [Martin] and Hutchy Ian Hutchinson] on my tail."

On his way to victory in the Dunrod 150 Cummins became the fastest road racer on the planet with a lap average speed of 133.282mph.
