MICHAEL DUNLOP RETURNS
Northern Irish road racer, Michael Dunlop, has
announced he will return to the high stakes
racing series that claimed the life of his brother
William last year.
The 29-year-old racer is set to rejoin TYCO
BMW for the second season in a row and
will be racing the all-new S1000RR in the RST
Superbike and PokerStars Senior events.
Dunlop tasted success with the Bavarian
machine at the 2018 Isle of Man TT, so will be
one to watch on the all-new S thou’ to see if he
can go back-to-back.
“I’m looking forward to working with TAS
Racing again this year,” he said in a statement.
“We grabbed a Superbike TT win last year,
which was a good start, and the goal this year
will be to go after both the Superbike and
Senior TT wins on the island.
Philip Neill, Tyco BMW Team Manager
concluded: “It’s great for TAS Racing to secure
another season with Michael and together with
our partners BMW and Tyco, we are looking
forward to a successful season on the all-new
BMW S1000RR.
“It was always our plan to continue with
Michael, however, it was important we took
some time together to consider the best way
to approach 2019, and we look forward to
announcing further details soon.”
