Michael Dunlop steps into the driving seat of a Ford Escort Mark 1 for an exclusive in-depth interview with John Hogan. The 19-time TT winner and road racing legend talks of his love of rally cars, growing up around motorsport and what it takes to race.
“Your only limitation is confidence” explains Dunlop as he talks with John about about finding your limits on the course, whilst acknowledging that lap times only appear to be getting faster and faster. Looking ahead to TT 2022, Michael talks expectations, last minute changes and why he won’t be riding the PBM Ducati at this year’s races.

I met Michael at a track day in Cartagena. It was lunch break and he invited me into the garage to look over the bikes. He was really friendly and open👍👍

This is the best MD interview I have heard….congrats! MD is the crowd favourite, in my eyes, most exciting rider to watch and follow as he is so determined.

What a humble, intelligent man. When you see him just about to start at the TT, of course he's focused and appears somewhat distant, that's what he has to do. What a wonderful interview. He's in the car with John, just two guys and its as if, the comparative safety and isolation of the wee mk 1 allows him to really open up. My already huge respect for this man has now went through the roof.

I hope it’s okay for me as a Dane from Scandinavia, to say I have utmost respect of Road Racers, this is one of the best & honest interview I have seen.. I admire all of you who are during road races (top 1 to the last), after this interview, I have even more respect of MD.. the way he explains what was happening in the last 5+ years and why it went wrong, It takes a top guy to walk away knowing the press will be writing all sorts of stories afterwards, huge respect and all the best in 2023.

@HoofHearted801 Жыл бұрын

I understand this interview better by knowing of his Family's unspoken charitable efforts over many years. Joey would load up the van with his bike and food/clothing because where they were racing many of the locals were destitute and he used his racing schedule to help where he was able without telling others. Quiet humility coupled with sheer determination. And Michael saw all that.

Brilliant interview! Great to see and hear more of Michael Dunlop on this channel over the last few weeks. Most riders have their own channel or vlogs. They also do more interviews throughout the TT but that being said It would never make me change my opinion on Michael, such a genuine lad, doesn’t dress it up and says it how it is! Looking forward to seeing him at the NW200!

Oh my word!!! Exact replica of my very first car! Ford Escort , which my late father in law reconditioned with a racing gear box and steering wheel, having been a rally racer, which he presented to my late husband as our first car! I learnt to drive in it and it was unforgettable! I really want to meet Michael as he reminds me so much of between my late dad and late biker cousin.... And, what a legend road racer, yet seems such a down to earth man! Michael, You Rock and I'm rooting for you all the way from South Africa

Reading between the lines, what I heard was that it is 100/100 him and team. If you're not willing to put in 100% then don't come, b.c he gives 100% (and more).
