Shaun Muir has just one rider lined up for the main road meetings and it aint Josh Brookes, I told you who 10 weeks ago, Honda will get thrashed by a Yamaha ridden by Michael Dunlop

MD could win with any of the big teams. Is the new Yamaha a top bike for the roads is a nice head scratcher !!
MD is on a mission to prove it's not the bike but the right rider who wins at the TT. Look at Mag, on 2005 overlooked by Honda but did the job on a Yamaha. Honda takes him on again and no more needs to be said !!
Look at DJ with V&M, the best rider for a long time at the TT and then picked up by Tas, the top team at that time !
It's mostly the rider not the bike at the TT !!
Virgil

It would be amusing if MD rode the GSXR to a TT win or two. Guy Martin himself said that MD could ride a gate and win a TT.

If he does ride and win on the Suzuki, there are is going to be some red faces at TAS.

The Suzuki has been uncompetitive in all branches of Superbike racing. It's had its day and needs a re-design, a bit like the Honda, although that seems to be able to cut it around the TT Course because it is a fundamentally good design!

There is obviously still work going on behind the scenes to get Michael riding at the TT this year.

Would love to see him on an MV or a top Aprilia, doubt it'll happen though- Looks likely he'll be on a top spec kawasaki or suzuki though.
give us something a bit different and give bmw something to worry about.

Strong feeling he's riding the new Yam. They still have a point to prove with that new bike, and they got the cash to buy a Toprider. Still believe its gonna be a surprising TT2015, with more potential winners of the big bike races, then ever...
Young Deano's first win.... Looking forward already....

ill let me bets on dunlop been on yamaha machines,milwaukee,mar train or his own set up...if hes with either of the first 2 gary ryan will have an input with the 600,and dunlop will have his own superstock for the selected nationals hes doing..or maybe the whole bird story with not answering the phone is all tounge and cheek,and he ends up there..anyway the guessing games all good im sure we will know soon enough...

He'll surely be out to wipe the grin off bmw's face, I for one would be happy to see that after how they have treated him, plus the whole David Morris Crysalis racing shun from an old classic racer has shown their true form.
