Michael Dunlop ponders BSB possibilities: “Did we miss that boat?”
Michael Dunlop has stated that he feels too old to compete in the British Superbike Championship, although he concedes that he may have been interested in trying out the short circuit series. Despite occasional appearances in short circuit races, including in BSB’s Supersport class last year, Dunlop has never prioritized a BSB campaign over his focus on road racing. At 33-time Isle of Man TT winner, Dunlop believes he is now too advanced in age to fully commit to British Superbikes, despite feeling he could perform reasonably well with sufficient preparation. Reflecting on his career, Dunlop expressed a sense of missed opportunity when it comes to pursuing a BSB career, acknowledging that he never actively pursued it but may have been interested in doing so. While contemplating what might have been, Dunlop has continued to achieve success in road racing circuits, securing victories at events like the North West 200, the Isle of Man TT, and the Tandragee 100.
