Joey Dunlop's Nephew Michael Is the Honda TT Legends New Member

Young blood, fast blood, that's what Honda TT Legends team brings for the 2013 Isle of Man TT, in the person of Michael Dunlop, nephew to the legendary rider Joey Dunlop.

Michael will team up with other TT stars: John McGuinness and Michael Rutter, who has just recently cracked his tibia during a training race in France. Having already 3 TT wins, Michael Dunlop is seen like one of the riders which will carry on the glory of the Honda TT Legends team, and has been increasingly popular with TT fans, too.

Funny and at the same time, wonderfully realistic, how Honda TT Legends management are already preparing the new generation of riders and admit that both Rutter and McGuinness "are in their 40s and can't go on forever".

We wish Michael Dunlop a warm welcome to the ranks of the Honda TT Legends team and we're looking forward to see him follow in the steps of his truly legendary uncle, Joey.
