IOM TT 2023

[Rob 131 Sport]

With Glen Irwin signing for PBM and not participating in the TT next year, it got me thinking that a number of top TT riders remain unannounced for next year event as regards participation or teams. The initial names that sprung to mind were:

Michael Dunlop

Dean Harrison

Dominic Herbertson

James Hillier

Ian Hutchinson

John McGuinness

Davey Todd

It will also be I interesting to see if Josh Brookes makes a comeback now he’s signed for FHO.

I,m sure Dunlop will be there on his own bikes and a Superbike with Build base help.
Dean is with DAO for another year.
And agree about FHO I'm guess there is a fair chance Brookes will be there

In recent years Michael has proved himself a winner on the Supersport and Twins.

On the big bikes his last win was in the 2018 Superbike. On the basis that there was no TT in 20 or 21 he could still be classed as a recentish winner.

I would imagine that a lot of teams would like to secure his services, including IMHO Honda now that Glen Irwin is no longer riding for them.

I imagine Conor Cummins will be on the Padgetts Honda again. Would be surprised to see McGuinness on anything but the big H next year either. For a lot of them it might depend on what they are riding in BSB.

I knew I’d forgotten someone. Connor

Not even Mystic Meg could work that one out.

The thread is for riders that aren’t announced. Peter has been confirmed at FHO for a number of weeks.

Fair enough - I did a quick search but couldn't find anything to confirm he'd be there.

Surely Davey Todd will be there with Padgetts?

He's still riding for them next year, moving up to BSB from SS1000.

[HybridTheory]

Does Michael Dunlop do any , many other races except the TT?

Most of the Irish road races on his own bikes.
Usually only the TT and NW200 he looks for a superbike deal for.

After a good year last year I'd imagine so, unless the factory Honda team poach him.

There is an opening at the factory team now after all.

Good point.

He seems to do less and less of the Irish races,think he only did 1 maybe 2 rounds this year
