Today’s motorcycle racers are world-class athletes. From Marc Marquez to Toni Bou to Eli Tomac, title-holding riders stick to a strict health and exercise regimen to remain at the top of the sport. That health-conscious trend is a recent development, though, and decorated road racer Michael Dunlop prefers the old-school approach.
As the son of five-time Isle of Man TT winner Robert Dunlop, the nephew of TT all-time great Joey Dunlop, and brother to TT rider William Dunlop, it’s safe to say that the Tourist Trophy is in Michael Dunlop’s blood. Despite losing his brother, father, and uncle to road racing crashes, the Northern Irish racer remains committed to the deadly event.
