Michael Dunlop sets record as he claims pole at Tandragee 100
Michael Dunlop secured pole position at the Tandragee 100 on Friday, setting the stage for Saturday’s Open races at the Armagh circuit. His record-breaking average speed of 107.97mph on the 5.3-mile track marked the fastest qualifying lap in history. Dunlop, riding his MD Racing BMW Superstock bike, excelled but faced technical issues with his V2 Ducati in Supersport qualifying. Despite the setback, Dunlop’s return to Tandragee after 12 years aims to build on his impressive 11 wins there. The event, the first since 2022 and 61st overall, features top contenders like Michael Sweeney, with key track resurfacing facilitating a successful competition.
