Presenter Hailey Coxon claims that Michael Dunlop’s race-win record might be unbeatable in the podcast’s special Isle of Man TT episode.
Presenter Hailey Coxon thinks that Michael Dunlop’s record number of victories in Isle of Man TT races might never be surpassed. With four wins at this year’s competition, he surpassed his uncle Joey’s 26 wins, a record that hadn’t been surpassed since 2000. And according to Coxon, there is a good chance that Michael, who is 35 years old, may remain at the top of the scoreboard for even longer than 25 years, particularly if he continues to win.
“Joey’s record remained intact for a very long time; his final race here was in 2000,” she stated on the Full Chat podcast, which is sponsored by Bikesure, the biggest motorbike insurance provider in the UK.
“Even what Michael is capable of doing so today, but reaching 30 is an even greater accomplishment, and I don’t think many others will be able to do it very soon. Even John McGuiness, with his current record of 23 victories, is unlikely to have any more wins left in him. Sure, podiums, but victories, I don’t think so. He will not in any way be able to top it.It’s also hard to quantify the impact the Dunlop family has had on motorsports. Simply amazing. As he concluded this year’s TT, Coxon—a proud Manx—spent nearly forty minutes discussing the venerable occasion. She talked about a lot of things, including Davey Todd’s first-ever senior race victory.
“That’s what Davey deserved, it was an If all goes according to plan, someone like Davey Todd will someday be able to challenge Michael Dunlop.
