Michael Dunlop
Michael Dunlop (born 10 April 1989) is a Northern Irish professional motorcycle road racer. He holds the all-time record for victories and podium finishes at the Isle of Man TT, with 33 wins and 51 podiums, surpassing the previous record of 26 wins held by his uncle Joey Dunlop in 2024. These results make him the most successful competitor in the history of the event.
He is part of a prominent racing dynasty: the son of the late Robert Dunlop, brother of the late William Dunlop, and nephew of the late Joey Dunlop. His family legacy was documented in Road (2014), and he later published his autobiography Road Racer: It's in My Blood (2017).
In the 2025 King's Birthday Honours, Dunlop was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to motorcycle racing. In addition Dunlop has been named Irish Motorcyclist of the Year on numerous occasions.
Nicknamed "The Raging Bull," Dunlop is widely considered as one of the most combative competitors in motorcycle racing having been described in 2015 as possessing of: "an aggressive style which was spectacular to watch." This pugnacious attitude has led to numerous confrontations with race teams, rival competitors and on occasion, his late brother. In addition he has often refused to acknowledge the names of his fellow competitors.
Dunlop secured his first North West 200 victory in 2008, winning the 250cc race on a Honda. The win came two days after the death of his father, Robert Dunlop, during practice for the event, and the day before his funeral.
In 2013, Dunlop claimed his second North West 200 victory by winning the Superstock race on a Honda, finishing ahead of Bruce Anstey and Lee Johnston.
In 2014, Dunlop added two further victories to his North West 200 record, winning both the Superstock and Superbike Race 2 events on a BMW. The wins marked his third and fourth career victories at the meeting and his first with the German manufacturer. He was also named the first recipient of the Robert Dunlop Man of the Meeting award, introduced to honour his father's legacy at the event.
In 2016, Dunlop added a fifth North West 200 victory by winning the Superbike race on a BMW. During the race, he set a new Superbike lap record of 4 minutes 22.095 seconds at an average speed of 123.207 mph.
