Michael Dunlop is heading the TT Supersport entry and targeting the first 130-mile per hour lap in the 600cc class.
Last year, his second race saw him smash both the race and lap records, coming it at a speedy 128.7 miles per hour.
Michael Dunlop made the 600cc class his own 12-months ago by riding his own MD Racing Honda.
