Michael Dunlop return could be on the cards following Southern 100 crash

Michael Dunlop could be set for a quick return to racing.

The Ballymoney rider broke his pelvis and suffered a other injuries following a heavy crash at the Southern 100 on July 11 .

There were fears that Dunlop would be ruled out of action for a number of weeks, throwing in doubt his participation in next month's Ulster Grand Prix.

But racers are a hardy breed, and Dunlop is already on the road to recovery.

The 30-year-old has posted photographs on his Facebook page of him apparently testing at Aghadowey.

It would be a massive boost for Dunlop and his fans if he was able to return to racing, especially with some big events coming up.

The Armoy Road Races take place this weekend, where Dunlop has won the last seven ‘Race of Legends’ feature races.

He sat out the 2018 event but it was eventually cancelled due to wet weather.

The Ulster Grand Prix races will be held on August 8 and 10 this year.
