A holder of 13 wins in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy where he broke the lap record last year, Michael Dunlop will be in all the battles this season. The Northern Irish man will be riding the new Suzuki GSX-R1000 of team Bennetts, partnered technically by Motul, in the greatest events of the road racing schedule, and will be contending in the first British Superbike round in Donington.
Apart from the famous 'TT', Michael Dunlop will be entering the North West 200, the Southern 100 and the Ulster Grand Prix. 'I know Steve Hicken and team Bennetts well and know they are capable of getting the most from a new bike' stated the son of the great Robert Dunlop, who won the Tourist Trophy with Kawasaki, Yamaha, BMW and Honda… It's up to Michael to do the same with Suzuki!
'We've already made substantial progress in developing the new GSX-R1000' stated Steve Hicken. 'With a winner like Michael, we can aim for the win!'
After a trial run in Mallory Park, Dunlop and his team will travel to Cartagena and then Almeria, Spain. They will also take part in the official BSB tests in Donington Park on 22 March.
