Not only was it a real race but what a nice humble victory. Both riders are class anyway we all know that. But that last lap, the aggressive style and limitations pushed to win was awesome to see. It's a shame you can't share first place sometimes. Well done guy's and thank you for the entertainment
Congratulations to all these riders who in my opinion are carrying on the purest tradition of motorbike racing. Don't get me wrong, I like Motogp but these road races with "modest machines" and "braver than ever riders" are for me the pure essence of this sport. Greetings from France.
I'm new to this... After Isle of Man 2022! Found this! Ulster GP 2021with Peter Hickman & Lee Johnston 😮... These Must Be The Two Finest 🌍 and then there's The Other's 🧐... From Northern Ireland of Course and No Where Else!
I was at this race and was at Irelands corner during this race and the crowd was definitely pulling for local hero Lee Johnston. Dundrod is the best circuit on the planet, better than the TT which is a time trial not an actual race like this. I posted an 80 miniute vid of my view of the Ulster GP, unfortunately this event may never happen again after the 97th UGP.
Best lap ever, for sure. They must have steel balls to ride side-by-side at 170/180 MPH on public roads. I love road racing and have the greatest respect for everyone of them and what they do. Thanks for sharing👍
@@raynic1173 different gearing on these bikes. They where clocked at 175mph at the fastest part of the track during this race. They loose out on acceleration but gain on top end, because it’s such a fast track you gain having a top end bike. Not that many slow corners!
@@georgebarnes8163 Billionaires fund global lock downs, no one has a few hundred thousand to sponsor an event of modern day heroes. Says it all, really.
I am so glad I went to see this when it was still happening. I saw the NW200 a couple of years ago and I preferred the UGP hands down. Watch right from the edge of the course, walk on it between races, fantastic.
You Know! I caught a glimpse of that and thought 💭... A glitch?! Only happens with Methanol drag bikes? Hickman Was breathing fire 🔥 😤 to get around Lee Johnston 😮☝️😎🙏
Fantastic race...both true gentleman of the sport...followed them both at BSB last year... hopefully the road racing will be back on this year..REspect..
What is wrong with the young men of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales that they come up with this racing. Years and years ago I was walking around a field that was pretending to be the motorbike pits in Skerries. Standing in front of me queueing getting a cuppa from a coffee van was Joey. It was the most casual thing I had every seen, a absolute sporting icon waiting like everyone else and then goes racing.
credit to both, but especially to lee for being magnanimous in a close fought defeat, true gladiators, with hats off and kudos to each other post race, brilliant, both a credit to the sport, thankyou.
@@georgebarnes8163 These last few years have been shit, the tt was a bit of light. Looks like the shit fans not finished spinning. Here in Italy economically thing are real bad.
The best race at the ulster in my lifetime was the 1999 ugp. If we had the same camera tech and variety of on board, aerial and fixed cameras it would be the greatest of all time. Imo.
You don’t talk about a bad accident the year before whilst the boys are still racing . You’d of felt like shit if something happened while you were flapping your lips , straighten out . On a much more positive note the commentary is spot on
Hicky overtake at Wheelers corner Pure Magic❤ it🏁 .Awesome race Lee&Hicky .UGP Races should and definitely be promoted Lots of Awesome Race Track history there SAVE UGP....🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
The Ulster GP is one of the most underrated motosport races in the world. Absolutely incredible, I hope they save it for future years.
Ulster GP is the fastest road race in th World! Faster than IOM TT!
It "was" unfortunately there not running it anymore
@@Mt24855 Insurance companies need to wise their baps so this can happen, the greedy bastards!
Some of the best on-board shots I've ever seen. World class racing and presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!

This was a privilege to witness this outstanding ride by Peter Hickman, magic, not taking anything away from Lee Johnston, this was awesome to see.
This production should be nominated for an award. Excellent camera coverage and choices!
Lee J is a true sportsman- gracious in defeat, and one of the best road jockeys.
okay all the onboards make this some of the best racing footage i've ever seen. Even MotoGp doesn't show the battle this up close!
My heart rate is FAR ABOVE what my doctor recommends for a man my age. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS.
Never seen close racing on boards like this. Just outstanding. Thank you 😎

That triumph spitting flames!
The size of these guys balls to be pulling those speeds on public roads, absolutely mind blowing 🤯
A pair of absolute brilliant sportsmen
Another amazing race with great commentators!
Now that is RACING. Seriously amazing stuff. Splendid riders on a classic track. Wow!

@@raynic1173 yeah you're right, they are on 600cc bikes. Still, great lap👍
@@pedrosemedo9492 I was just watching the 2011 GP and they were topping out at 150 mph. But yes, I agree, amazing schite!

@@mikefandango294 I'd have to see another source to believe that. It takes more than gearing to go that fast, it takes HP to push the air.
Maybe the best footage but we've seen many great battles around what is possibly the best natural race track in the world.
WOWWWW !!!!
This should be bigger than f1.
Best Ulster I have ever seen.
Fantastic race by two great racers. Loved it.
The skills required to ride well & safely with equally talented individuals is something to behold & Envy….!
I so hope they can get this race back going again. Best mass start race in the world.
A total epic on a stunning track...!
Lee is such a class act, clearly gutted here but humble and gracious towards Peter. Such trust between them to ride like this 👍
I sincerely hope we have the UGP back in 2022.
and the T T too !!!!!! 😷😎👍
Sadly not, the funding was pulled
@@georgebarnes8163
Yea.....at least the Mid Antrim is going again this year though. Great to see it back.

Now THAT'S proper racing!!!!!
Fantastic!!!
this is the 6th I've seen, and it's still gold
8:35 Straight fire shooting out the exhaust from gearing down.

The camera view of the riders eyes is amazing to see:))
Amazing race one of the best road races i have seen
True sportsman and champions all of them
Hicky 'two hats'........ what a man.. what men... so brave.. love it!!

Holy shit those boys a ruthless

Hicky does not give up just luv ulster gp and the tt
Unbelievable 🔥
He's got 666 on the bike, guys an absolute nut case... . What a race!
Absolutely R6 is the demon in this division but Hickman pulled everything from that triumph 😅
People forget that the triumph d675 hadn't changed from the 2013 model till it was discontinued in 2018. Truly awesome bike. Yes, i have one. Lol
Make your motorcycle proud man because it deserves it. Show the people what you can do with your motorcycle and always try to improve. Be happy 💜
Both 2 of my favourite riders
Fearless racers
Great race. AWESOME CANERA ANGLES! Felt I was there.
Unbelievably Speed.
Amazing Race. 😎
I love this track
2 classy dudes, as riders & as people..........
credit to both, but especially to lee for being magnanimous in a close fought defeat, true gladiators, with hats off and kudos to each other post race, brilliant, both a credit to the sport, thankyou.
2 greats with 100% trust in each other ,
I used to ride like that from Brighton to Arundel at 2.00 in the morning in the 1970s
They are so focused that they dont even blink pure human capabilities
Blimey that was a blinder , of a race great one lads Shane uk 🇬🇧
By far, when the weather is favourable, it’s the best road race by far. It’s a shame it no longer runs, never thought I would see its demise.
I'm loving this as a biker The cometery is out of this world
That was just awesome!!!
Brilliant racing these riders are so committed 👍
Real road racing that big kohonas
Whooooo! That was a brilliant race.
This is real racing!
"I don't think he really needs that, he just needs to be in front at the checkered flag." lol, the wisdom of an announcer.
Such a pity we don't get this race anymore.
I need a cigarette after that one!
And I don’t smoke.
god i miss this . . . .
when number 666 agains number 13 , what a race !
I guess this is what the riders who drive around where i live think they are doing
This is as good as motorcycle racing gets anywhere in the world.
Sadly this race event is dead and gone.
Madness Badassness
9:27 Hello there
2:09 taking the quick line
superb racing
Respect!!!! Tons of courage!!!!
Peter Hickman is such a good pilot 👌
Epic race
Was there and it was frickin awesome
💥 Came Down To… Who Had The Biggest Balls… Great Race💥
Has to be the best grassroots racing on the planet, true road warriors. Can't wait for the TT 2022.
Sadly the event has been cancelled due to lack of funding.

Absolut insane racing
Hats off to all those boys 👍👍👍👍
Talk about wringing the neck out of those bikes, brilliant entertainment.
That was amazing
Hickey is great in British Super bikes as well
Yep,and Glenn &Andrew Irwin 👍👍
Epic to watch
Hicky does it again. He a lion
Not for the faint hearted well done both
