Michael Dunlop competing the 2019 Lightweight TT

The return of the Isle of Man TT is just around the corner with less than three weeks to go and the excitement is undoubtedly building. To add to this excitement, last week the starting numbers for the Supertwin TT were announced with some familiar faces set to compete in the race.


First off the line will be runner up of the 2019 Lightweight TT, Jamie Coward who will be looking to earn his first TT win. Following Coward will be Italian road racer Stefano Bonetti and rising TT star Lee Johnston both riding Aprilia machines. 


Starting at number four will be 7-time TT winner Michael Rutter on the Paton followed by Dominic Herbertson. Herbertson has already seen some success in the 2022 road racing season with his maiden win at the Tandragee 100 in the Supersport race.


Hunting down the first five from his usual number 6 position will be 19-time TT winner Michael Dunlop. Dunlop, who won the race in both 2018 and 2019, will be eager to make it three in a row and add another win to his overall TT record.


Following the current title holder will be TT veteran Gary Johnson, Magherafelt racer Paul Jordan and TT superstar Peter Hickman riding the 7, 8 and 10 numbers respectively. 


Outside of the top 10, winners from this year’s Cookstown 100 Michael Sweeney and Adam McLean start at 13 and 14 with TT 2022’s only female solo competitor Maria Costello starting at 30.
