Michael Dunlop will definitely be at Southern 100

Saturday, 5 July 2014 00:00

Contrary to the rumours Michael Dunlop will indeed be competing at the Southern 100 road races.

Speculation was rife that the TT superstar would not be competing, with Southern 100 organisers citing a number of unfounded reasons spread on the rumour mill.

The 11 times TT winner has recently been in Germany picking up his BMW Superbike, and is arriving on Island tomorrow.

Michael will be joined by brother William who is returning after last month's senior race day crash, and fan favourite Guy Martin who will be looking to repeat his success enjoyed at last year's event.

Race action gets underway on Monday.
