By Bolstering his chances of adding another prestigious title to his already stellar TT 2018 CV, via a record breaking Monster Energy Supersport race 1 success, plus finishing runner up in a quite pulsating Royal London 360 Quantum Superstock race, Michael Dunlop is firmly on course to regain the much coveted Joey Dunlop Championship crown.
Twice a winner of the title awarded each year to the most consistent front running racer of each TT fortnight, he’s at present 29 points in front of nearest challenger Smiths Racing’s Peter Hickman in the race for the illustrious title.
