Tandragee 100: Michael Dunlop completes four-timer including victory in blue riband Superbike race

Michael Dunlop wrapped up a four-timer at the Around A Pound Tandragee 100 with victory in the blue riband Superbike race at the Co Armagh meeting.

The feature race was cut to four laps as the organisers came under pressure to finish the schedule following several red flags.

On a day of constantly changing weather, the race was held in dry conditions.

Dunlop, the outright lap record holder from 2025, took the lead from pole and led across the line on every lap to secure his second win of the day on his MD Racing BMW.

He was 0.7s up on Mike Browne (MB Racing/Russell Racing Honda) after the first lap, with Michael Sweeney (MJR BMW) three seconds further back.

Browne slashed the deficit to just two tenths of a second after the second lap, but Dunlop was able to pull a gap on the next lap and won in the end by 2.929s from Browne.

Sweeney claimed third after retiring from the earlier Open race, with Marcus Simpson fourth on his Honda.

Conor Cummins took fifth on his Conrod Racing BMW with Kevin Keyes (Daracore Racing Honda) finalising the top six.

Dunlop claimed another win in the Moto3 class on the Burrows Engineering/RK Racing Honda to make it four wins on the day, with Joe Loughlin victorious overall in the concurrently run Lightweight race.

Dunlop’s quadruple gave him 17 career wins at Tandragee, making him the third most successful rider at the event behind Ryan Farquhar (20) and his late uncle Joey Dunlop (18).
