Which included finishing second in the senior support consolation race on his GSX-R 600 K7 Suzuki mount. Added highlights would include highly creditable 16th place finish in the S&S Motors supersport race.

Holding the number six plate for the newcomers A Manx GP, in my opinion he is a definite contender for at least a podium placing.
Commenting on his approaching Mountain Course debut, Michael said on the Manx Grand Prix back a newcomer page on Facebook:
“The Manx Grand Prix for me is something I’ve wanted to do ever since I can remember, as a step towards the TT.”
