Isle of Man TT s💃tar William Dunlop has sp🐻lit from Northern Ireland team Wilson Craig Honda.

The Ulster rider, who earned team owner Craig's maiden victories at international l🎶evel this year with wins at the North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix in the Supersport class, is seeking a fresh challenge.

Dunlop, who joined the team full-time in 2010, has left on good termsඣ following an amicable separation.

The 27-year-old told the Belfast News Letter: "I enjoyed riding foꩵr Wilson these past two years but it's just time to move on now♚ and try something new.

"There's no hard feelings and I've left on good terms. Wilson has been good to me and I'm glad I was the first rider in ꧅his team to win international races for him.

"I have a number of op♓tions at the moment, but ༒nothing concrete," added Dunlop.

"I don't think I'll be stuck for the int🤪ernationals next year, but I'd like the chance to ride in the British Supersport class.

ꦐ"I'm hoping now t💜o try and get something tied up this month before the NEC Show."

Dunlop, who finished on the rostrum for the first time at the TT in June in third place in the first Supersport 🅷race, has been linked to Shaun Muir's Yamaha team for 2013.

He was due to test Muir's ওYamaha YZF-R1 superbike last week, but missed out on tꦇhe opportunity due to time restrictions.

Team owner Craig, who also ran Austral🐬ian star Cameron Donald on his Honda machines in 2012, said he wished Dunlop well for the🉐 future.

"We have parted compa🌌ny on good terms and I wish William all the best," said Craig.

"He is a good rid🅺er and♔ he had two good years with the team.

"Riders come and go and that's racing. I could see it coming with William🌜 and for one reason or another he has decided to go a different way.

"ꦯThat chapter is now over and I will see where I go from her🔴e."
