context_page_description: Michael Dunlop is a Northern Irish professional motorcycle racer. Part of a motorcycle racing dynasty, Michael is the brother of the late William Dunlop, son of Robert and nephew of former World Champion Joey Dunlop.
  He won the Armoy road race on 27 July 2019 just 16 days after breaking his pelvis. The victories were Dunlop's 18th and 19th around his home circuit at Armoy.
  He is a former solo-machine lap record holder for the 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. Dunlop was the first rider in the history of the Isle of Man TT to achieve a lap of the course in under 17 minutes.
  Dunlop is widely regarded amongst the most tenacious competitors in motorcycle racing. His aggressive style and pugnacious attitude has led to confrontation with organisers, race teams, fellow competitors and on occasion, his late brother.
