Michael Dunlop has confirmed he will race the newly updated Ducati Panigale V4 R in the Superbike class at the 2026 Isle of Man TT, announcing the switch via social media. The 33 time TT winner posted: “Our little V2 was getting lonely so we went and got her a best mate the V4 RS.” Dunlop delivered Ducati’s first TT victories since 1995 last year but the Panigale is still without a big bike TT win.
