2026: ONE OF IRELAND’S GREAT ROAD RACES CONTINUES TO DEFY CHALLENGES FACING THE SPORT – CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF PURE ROAD RACING
The Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club (LMSC) are announcing the return of the Country Crest Skerries 100 in what is its 80th year of pure road racing. Road race dates are Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July 2026.
This iconic course stretches for 2.9 miles around the outskirts of the picturesque town of Skerries, with its breathtaking sea views and plush countryside.
A lot has happened in the racing world since these road races were last run in 2022. Like many events, the Country Crest Skerries 100 now operates in a more challenging environment shaped by rising costs and safety expectations. Following signi+cant strides in meeting these challenges and successfully securing insurance for the event, the LMSC will continue to run all classes and have some new exciting additions to the race programme. Further information on this and more will be provided through the Club’s usual social media outlets and website closer to the event.
A statement from the Official TT Page has confirmed that Davey Todd has been ruled out of the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.
This will be an awful blow to DT who also missed out on the North West 200 last week, however hopefully TTPlus is listening and manages to talk him into the commentary team, he was brilliant on the BBC Coverage of the NW200.
TODD DECLARED UNFIT FOR TT 2026
Davey Todd has been declared medically unfit to compete in the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races by the event’s Medical Team following assessment of the injuries sustained during an incident at the Daytona 200 in March and ongoing review of his recovery.

Cooper and McWilliams Master the “Triangle” in Rain-Hit NW200 Opener
The North Coast of Northern Ireland welcomed the road racing elite today for the opening practice sessions of the 2026 North West 200. While the atmosphere in the paddock was electric, the weather proved a temperamental host. Heavy rain spells and shifting winds across the 8.9-mile “Triangle” course forced riders to contend with a stop-start schedule and a rapidly evolving track surface.
Despite the tricky conditions, two names dominated the conversation: Richard Cooper and the ageless Jeremy McWilliams.
Superbike: Cooper’s BMW Masterclass
The premier class hit the tarmac under a grey, damp sky that tested both courage and tire choice. Richard Cooper proved he is the man to beat this week, navigating the BMW to a blistering 4m 51.332s lap. He finished a comfortable 2.6 seconds ahead of Honda’s Paul Jordan.
