TT ace Michael Dunlop has confirmed he will be racing in this year’s TT festival.

It was feared the Northern Ireland man would have to the miss the upcoming season as he would be without the backing of a team.

This has been rectified however with the seven times TT winner now signed up to BMW motorcycles.

The deal sees Michael joining forces with BMW Motorrad UK and Hawk Racing via the global sports programme.

The team will be hoping Michael can mark the 75^th anniversary of their first TT win with more race victories.
