William Dunlop is gearing up to get back on the road, after crashing a bike on a test run on open roads.
It happened in the south of the Island near Port Erin.
William, a son of the late Robert Dunlop, was out on a Honda when he hit a stone wall at exceptionally high speed.
He is said to have escaped without serious injury, despite not wearing his leathers, and was able to practice last night.
