Shaun Anderson secured third place after Conor Cummins overshot at Bell's Crossroads.

In the Supersport class, Mike Browne claimed a double victory, establishing a 7.65-second lead by the third lap and managing it expertly to finish 3.5 seconds ahead of Dunlop. Meanwhile, Darryl Tweed triumphed in the Supertwins race after a thrilling battle with Sweeney, who made a critical error at the final corner.
