World Superbike legend Carl Fogarty is relishing the opportunity to pay tribute to former road racing riv🌊al Joey Dunlop at this month's Classic TT Races.

Fogarty will take ꧃part in the 'Joey Dunlop Road Racing Legend - The Rivals' Parade Lap' on a Honda RC30 on Saturday, August 23 and will also ride in the Classic Racer Magazine Lap of Honour on a Ducati on Monday, August 25.

"The Isle of Man holds a special place in my heart and I have said many times before that it was that part of my career which I look back on w💝ith the most happiness and pride," said Fogarty.

"I can't wait to see the new Class𝓰ic TT event for myself after hearing good things about last year's first event and I am particularly excited to be part of the tribute to Joey Dunlop.

"Joey🏅 was a special rider and someone I looked up to and wanted to beat in those early World Championship years♊."

Four-time World Superbike champion Fogarty was a key rival to Dunlop in the Formula One World Champions𝔉hip, which the Ulsterman won five times.

Foggy - a winner at the Isle of Man TT in the 1989 750cc Production, 1990 Formula On🍬e and 1990 Senior races - was involved in the race voted as the greatest ever at the TT: the 1992 Senior, when he battled throughout with Scottish rider Steve 🃏Hislop.

The Blackburn star swapped the l🤡ead with Hislop throughout the six-lap race and although he eventually ha🌺d to settle for second, 4.4s behind Hislop, he did have the consolation of claiming the outright lap record on the final lap.
