Michael Dunlop returns to the Dynavolt Triumph fold for Silverstone as he replaces Brandon Paasch in the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship.

The American is set to undergo surgery to his scaphoid fracture, suffered at Snetterton last weekend, and is expected to return to action at the Oulton Park round later this month.

Dunlop needs no introduction and is no stranger to the PTR run Dynavolt Triumph outfit having enjoyed success with the team on the road circuits in the past.

“Really good news to be riding the Dynavolt Triumph at Silverstone,” Michael Dunlop said on the news.

“I’ve been watching the bike as it’s progressed this year and the team seem to have done a great job. As a lot of people know I’ve had success with PTR and it will be great to be working with Simon and the boys again.

“It’s a good opportunity, I’m looking forward to it. Let’s see what we can do, it will be great to see everyone there.”

Dynavolt Triumph Team Manager Simon Buckmaster added “We’ve a good working relationship with Michael, he’s got good feel for a bike and he’s a good supersport rider.

“He’s really looking forward to it and so am I. It will be great working with him again, we’ve really enjoyed it in the past. Let’s see if we can’t surprise a few people.”

“Brandon has seen a specialist today and he’s having surgery to insert a screw in his fractured wrist later this week,” Buckmaster continued. “As long as he’s passed fit, and the specialist has given him every indication he will be, he hopes to be back on our bike at Oulton Park. We look forward to that and hope he can continue with his progression and win races before the end of the season.”
