Poor weather at Dundrod last August meant any prospects of the Northern Ireland road race wrestling back the title were thwarted.

Dean Harrison’s blistering lap of 134.614mph in 2017 remains the benchmark at the Ulster Grand Prix.

However, if more favourable conditions prevail this year, the first ever 135mph lap around the legendary 7.4-mile course is surely on the cards.
