Michael Dunlop will be on a Duke for this years NW200 and the TT, riding a V4R Panigale for PBM(Paul Bird Motorsports). This is quite interesting as although they've stamped their authority on short circuit events, Dukes haven't in the past been famous for their longevity. They have always got a big cheer when finishing endurance races.

It's great news,and if he did win he'd have won on virtually every make of bike,I think he's brilliant and although they had their differences he missed William so much I wasn't sure if he'd come back.He'll have his work cut out with Hickman.Harrison, Hillier etc but if he clicks with the Duke early on the TT will be fantastic,can't wait. :thumbup
never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.
We'll have to wait until next year now to see how the Dunlop/Ducati combo would have worked out, as this years TT is cancelled. The NW200 is under threat of being cancelled as well.

The 2020 NW200 has been postponed which is a big financial hit to the local economy.
