Michael Dunlop expressed that Richard Cooper and Dean Harrison gained an advantage over him in the Supersport Race 2 at the North West 200 by cutting the final chicane during their battle for the win.

He commented on the practicality of the final chicane and suggested organizing authorities should address the issue to ensure fair competition in the future.
