Dunlop secures world series ride
Ballymoney's William Dunlop has secured a ride in the GSX-R Suzuki Cup, which runs at the World Superbike meetings.
The 20-year-old rider's first race of six as part of a three-man team will be in Valencia in April.
Dunlop, who has concentrated on roads circuits, will make his debut in the Isle of Man TT races in June.
The up and coming star comes from a famous motorcycling family, being the son of Robert Dunlop, and the nephew of TT legend Joey.
William's commitment to the series means he will miss the Tandragee and Killalane road races, plus the first day of practising for the TT.
