Michael Dunlop will ride for Milenco by Padgett’s in the Lightweight race at this month's Classic TT.

The 36-time TT winner will campaign the same 250cc RS Honda that Bruce Anstey rode to victory in three Lightweight Classic TT races between 2016 and 2019.

The Kiwi won on the machine in 2016 before creating a piece of Classic TT history the following year when he became the first and only rider to record a 120mph lap on a 250cc machine, lapping at 120.475mph on his way to victory.

After missing the 2018 meeting due to cancer, Anstey returned in 2019 to secure an emotional third win in the class and complete a remarkable hat-trick aboard the iconic Honda.

Dunlop will also return to the Historic Senior class for the first time in nine years, riding Flitwick Motorcycles/SMV machinery.

He will campaign the 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet, one of the most distinctive machines in the race class, and also in the Historic Junior class aboard the 335cc Royal Enfield GP5.
