First insight into Michael Dunlop’s comfort on Ducati at Isle of Man TT
Michael Dunlop completed his first laps of the 2025 Isle of Man TT on his new machinery on Tuesday night, despite the bad weather conditions.
Even though Tuesday was an untimed session, it allowed the top riders to familiarize themselves with the Mountain Course.
Dunlop rode the MD Racing Paton, two laps on a Ducati Panigale V4, and finished with a ROKiT BMW Motorrad Superbike.
His switch from a Yamaha R6 to a Ducati is significant this year, considering his dominance in the past six Supersport TT races.
The job of keeping Michael calm and focused during the Isle of Man TT falls on Gary Dunlop, who recognizes the importance of these two weeks.
Having already broken his uncle Joey’s record in 2024, Dunlop is eager to add to his 29 wins at the Isle of Man TT this year.
