Diamond Races Scrapped :

Manx Radio Motorsport have posted that the Isle of Wight Diamond Road Races have been scrapped.

Further details were posted on the Manx Radio website :

“The proposed Diamond races which were due to take place in the Isle of Wight have been scrapped.

They were expected to run annually each October but a journalist on the Island claims the organisers have now decided against operating the Isle of Man TT-style event.

A separate road race is still scheduled for April next year with proposals currently at the public consultation stage.

Isle of Wight Radio Journalist, Iona Stewart-Richardson, says she’s been told the Diamond races were dropped because of safety concerns”

2021 Cookstown 100 : Michael Dunlop Appearance in Question as Statements from the Cookstown Club Contradict those from the Synetiq Team :

Synetiq BMW : 2021 Cookstown 100 : Michael Dunlop

IMPORTANT UPDATE RE 20210 Cookstown 100 : Ticket Sales for the 2021 Event has now ended.

The Cookstown Club earlier stated in a Facebook Post that Michael Dunlop would make an appearance at this years Cookstown 100 on his MD Racing Machine and the Synetiq Superbike.

Dunlop makes Cookstown 100 return

Michael Dunlop, star of the recent Armoy road races will return to the KDM Hire Cookstown 100, which is scheduled to take place on Fri and Saturday 10/11 September.

The Ballymoney rider, who last raced at Cookstown in 2018 will compete in both 600 supersport and Open races on his MD Racing Yamaha and Synetiq BMW by TAS Racing machines.

Dunlop, who won the 600 invitation race in 2018, and scored his only ever national road race win in the supertwins here in 2015 has not won the Feature Cookstown 100 race since 2013, something he will be eager to put right in 2021.

Dunlop’s attendance will certainly whet the appetite for road race fans, who have been starved of action between the hedges over the past two years.

Looking back to Armoy, the 17 times TT winner, Dunlop was in scintillating form, having had time during the pandemic to recover from injures received at the Southern 100 road race in 2019.

2021 Server Move

July 29, 2021 by TomBoyNI

2021 Server Move :

Over the last week or so the TBNI.Blog Site has been moving server.

That involves moving every file, every coded page, every image, every link and email address. There were over 50,000 files to move. Of course the computer does the camel’s share of the work but it can mean things get missed, corrupted or lost.

The new server and the site have been extensively tested and everything seems to be working as it should.

However if you come across any glitches or bugs then please let me know :

The initial results of the move look good!
