Michael Dunlop to join Buildbase Suzuki Superbike line-up at Oulton Park

22 September 2021

Michael Dunlop will return to the Hawk Racing and Buildbase Suzuki fold this weekend when the 19-time Isle of Man TT winner will partner Gino Rea aboard a GSX-R1000R Superbike at the Bennetts British Superbike Championship round at Oulton Park.

Dunlop – who won the 2017 Senior TT for the team on Suzuki machinery – will be the latest stand-in rider for the injured Danny Kent, as he recovers from injuries sustained at Donington Park earlier in the season.

Team manager, Steve Hicken, commented: “We’ve always maintained a close relationship with Michael, and have enjoyed plenty of success together, especially on the roads.

“With everything that’s gone on over the last 18 months or so, we were more than happy to welcome Michael back into the team this weekend to not only maintain our presence with two superbikes on the grid, but also help give him some more track time.”
