✃Michael Dꦬunlop is pondering “another goal” after breaking the Isle of Man TT race wins record.

Dunlop’s 27th victory around the Mountain Course earlier this year broke the record set by his unc𒉰le Joey, which had stoo🦹d for 24 years.

He then extended the new record 𓆏to 29 wins but it leaves Dunlop considering what comes next.

“Motorcycling is a𒆙 very different sport to football or the Olympics,✤ but, for me, the TT is probably like winning an Olympic gold medal,” Dunlop told the .

“That’s the highest point of my career. The highest point iꩲn any road racer’s mind is to win TTs.

“For me, it’s the be-all and end-all.

“With the TT, the biggest thin🔯g was to break the all-time record, which I did this year.

“Now we have to pick another goal.

“I don’t race for any other reason - ego, finances - it’s purely because 🐼I e♌njoy winning.

“For me, the goal is now to win more TTs ཧand put that record further away from people that♛ are coming up.

“Thereꦿ is no doubt it will be broken - that’s what records are there for - but I want to keep pushing it to the next level.”

Dunlop is still just 35 and will be the man to 𝔍beat when he returns to the Isle💛 of Man TT in 2025.

Dunlop was heralded in Belfast, Northern Ireland, last month for his re✅cord-breakin🧜g heroics at the TT.

An event at Parliament Buildings hosted by Northern Ireland Communities Minister Gordon Lyons paid tribute 💫to the road rac🦂ing legend.
