Michael Dunlop (born 10 April 1989) is a Northern Irish professional motorcycle road racer and the record holder for the number of wins and podiums at the prestigious Isle of Man TT, having amassed a total of 33 victories and having stood on the podium 51 times. These results make him the undisputed greatest of all time for this event. In 2025, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours for services to motorcycle racing.
Forming part of a motorcycle road racing dynasty, Michael is the brother of the late William Dunlop, son of the late Robert Dunlop and nephew of the late Joey Dunlop, whose all time record of 26 TT wins he surpassed in 2024.
Dunlop is a former individual lap record holder for the Isle of Man TT Snaefell Mountain Course set during the 2016 Senior TT in a time of 16 minutes 53.929 seconds at an average speed of 133.962 mph (215.591 km/h). This result made him the first rider in the history of the Isle of Man TT to achieve a lap of the course in under 17 minutes.
Nicknamed "The Raging Bull," Dunlop is widely considered as one of the most combative competitors in motorcycle racing having been described in 2015 as possessing of: "an aggressive style which was spectacular to watch." This pugnacious attitude has led to numerous confrontations with race teams, rival competitors and on occasion, his late brother. In addition he has often refused to acknowledge the names of his fellow competitors.
