With 19 Isle of Man TT wins under his belt, Michael knows the challenges of building a winning bike for the most demanding road race in the world better than most. The 30-year-old rode for Northern Ireland’s TAS Racing team in 2018 and 2019, so far TAS Racing have not announced any road racing plans for 2020.
So far Dunlop has been linked to several teams for 2020, including former backers Stuart and Steve Hicken of Hawk Racing but nothing has yet been signed up for the coming roads events.
