London, United Kingdom - 16 January 2024.
Impact protection specialist D3O and motorcycle racing legend Michael Dunlop have extended their partnership for 3 years.
Road racing, particularly the Isle of Man TT, requires a unique skillset when it comes to protecting riders at speeds breaking 200mph on the closed roads. D3O is proud to have been chosen once again by 25-time TT winner Michael Dunlop as his protective wear sponsor and supplier.
“You wouldn’t climb a mountain in flip-flops, so why would you ride a bike with anything other than D3O” said Dunlop.
The partnership between the road racing professional and the market leader for impact protection began in 2017 and has seen the pair enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship ever since. Riders who wear kit that utilises the distinctive orange protectors benefit from the innovation that D3O bring to the table thanks to the testing and feedback provided by their team of athletes including Michael Dunlop.
This year could see the history books rewritten as Dunlop sits just one win behind his uncle Joey Dunlop, who holds the record for the highest amount of Isle of Man TT wins.
“Our design and engineering team have the loved the challenge of ensuring Michael’s D3O protection gets better and more comfortable every year. D3O are honoured to be continuing this journey with Michael and will be supporting and cheering him on every step of the way this season. ” said Mostyn Thomas, Global Brand Director at D3O.
