In 2013 the enthusiastic road racer made a return to competition at the Manx Grand Prix. Second position was recorded on Ducks Cross racing R6 Yamaha in junior race following a gritty, determined and battling performance.
Super twin’s race was next up and it would prove to be a hugely memorable race for Michael. His second win around the mountain course was achieved as the rider competing on Track electronics backed ER6 Kawasaki edged out Michael Sweeney for victory by under two seconds.
