JOHN MCGUINNESS TEAMS WITH
MICHAEL DUNLOP FOR 2018 TT
I
n a shocking turn of events, 23-time Isle of Man
TT winner John McGuinness will team up with
archrival Michael Dunlop in Dunlop's own MD Rac-
ing outfit for the 2018 Isle of Man Supersport TT.
After announcing he will be joining Norton ear-
lier in the year for the Superbike and Senior TTs,
McGuinness' move to MD Racing will see him on
familiar Honda CBR600RR machinery in the Su-
persport TT. Since 2010, McGuinness has lined
up in the colors of Padgetts Racing and, more
recently, the Jackson Racing team, finishing in
the top five on eight occasions with his most
recent outing in 2016 seeing him finish fifth. The
2018 TT will be his first since near career-ending
injuries suffered at the North West 200 last year
when riding for Honda Racing.
"I'm excited to be riding Michael's bike at this
year's TT," McGuinness said. "It started off as
a bit of a joke conversation between us both and
has developed into him going off and building me
a bike. We've won 38 TT's between us so together
we know what needs to be done and I am sure we
will be right at the sharp end." CN
