William Dunlop and the Tyco BMW squad have agreed to part ways after two years together.
Both parties are said to be looking for different things and thus mutually terminated their ties with one another for the 2016 season. Dunlop endured a difficult season on the BMW S1000RR and failed to rack up any international wins, though enjoyed much more success on the national scene.
Dunlop stated: “Philip (Neil, Team Boss) and all the boys at Tyco BMW were very good to me, so first of all I'd like to thank them for making me feel very welcome. I really enjoyed my two years with the team. I'd also like to thank Tyco, BMW Motorrad and Metzeler tyres for their support, which also helped me clinch this year's Irish Superbike title.”
Neil commented: “William has been a great ambassador for us this past two years and on a personal note, I have really enjoyed working with him. I have spoken to William at length and we agreed mutually to go our separate ways for 2016, but the door has certainly not been closed. There's every chance he could return in the future and of course everyone at Tyco BMW wishes him well.”
This announcement comes a couple of weeks after William's younger brother, Michael, had been linked with his seat, amongst others. The Northern Irishman had reportedly denied interest, but this will ignite these rumours once again.
