Michael Dunlop named 2023 MCN Rider of the Year

25-time TT winner presented with award in London

Michael Dunlop has been named MCN Rider of the Year for 2023.

The 25-time TT winner has been presented with the award today (16 February) during MCN's latest show at ExCeL London.

On the Isle of Man last year, Dunlop took wins in both Supersport races as well as top spot in the Superbike race and Supertwin Race 1 at the Isle of Man TT Races to move to within one win of Joey Dunlop's all-time TT victory record of 26.

Two months later in August 2023, the Ballymoney man tasted success again on the Snaefell Mountain Course this time in the Manx Grand Prix.

He took victory in the Classic Superbike MGP Race, setting a new lap record of 126.681mph in the process.
