Challenges have arisen on the 1000cc machines in 2025, with Dunlop currently securing podium finishes in superbike and superstock races rather than wins.
Transitioning from Honda to BMW machinery this year to improve competitiveness against formidable opponents like Peter Hickman and Davey Todd has proven slightly turbulent due to unforeseen complications.

Acknowledging the tough competition in all classes at the Isle of Man TT event, Dunlop emphasizes the importance of perseverance and adaptability in facing the varying challenges each race presents.
