Michael Dunlop will deputise for injured Hawk Racing Honda rider Josh Owens at this weekend’s British Superbike meeting at Oulton Park.
The 25-time Isle of Man TT winner will partner the team’s other regular BSB rider, Charlie Nesbitt, for the three races at the Cheshire circuit.
Owens is absent because of a broken wrist and fingers sustained in a crash at Thruxton in August. Dunlop competed for Hawk Racing at this year’s North West 200 and TT.
At this year’s TT, Dunlop claimed a podium in every race he finished, including a third place in the Senior. He would race the Hawk Racing Honda in the Superstock, Superbike, and Senior. The highlight of his week came in the Superbike TT, winning for Peter Hickman and Dean Harrison.
The last time Michael competed in the BSB was at Oulton Park 2021 for Buildbase Suzuki where he finished 19th, 14th & 17th respectively.
