Organisers of this weekend's Steve Henshaw Gold Cup at Scarborough have said that Michael Dunlop will race a Sidecar on Saturday and Sunday.

The Irishman was due to make his chair debut at the Oliver's Mount circuit earlier this year but had to back out due to his two-wheel commitments. This time, though, he is a late entry aboard a Nick Crowe-spannered outfit.

"Race organiser, Peter Hillaby has confirmed that the sidecar outfit, owned by outright sidecar lap record holder around the 2.43-mile North Yorkshire course, since 2008, Nick Crowe will be preparing the machine for Michael to race on Saturday and Sunday," said a spokesman.
