Michael Dunlop will pilot the same machine that Bruce Anstey recorded multiple victories with at the Classic TT, after agreeing to join the Milenco by Padgetts race team in the Lightweight category. Dunlop will race the RS250 Honda, which became the first-ever 250cc machine to record a 120mph lap at the Classic TT. After missing the event in 2018 due to cancer, Anstey returned in 2019 to win for a third time in the Lightweight Classic TT class. The partnership between Dunlop and the Milenco by Padgetts race team is the first between both parties, however, the Dunlop name has previously been linked to the famous rainbow-liveried machine.
