Michael Rutter won the 37th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix Saturday in Macau, China, for the fourth time.

Riding a Renegade Ducati Superbike, the 30-year-old British rider completed 15 laps, or 57 miles, of the Guia street circuit to win by 5.512 seconds over countryman John McGuinness, who rode a Zongshen-sponsored Ducati Superbike. Completing the Great Britain sweep of the podium was Brian Morrison, third on a SERT Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Team Embry’s Geoff May was the top-finishing American, eighth on his Pirelli-equipped Suzuki GSX-R1000. Less than two seconds behind May came Lee’s Cycle’s Jeremy Toye, ninth on his Dunlop-sponsored Suzuki GSX-R1000. California teenager Jason Perez came back from a crash in Thursday’s qualifying session to finish 17th overall on his Graves Motorsports Yamaha YZF-R1 Formula Xtreme bike.
