Richard Cooper’s 2022 NW200 Supertwin Wins Reinstated :
Richard Cooper crossed the finish line first in both of the 2022 North West 200 Supertwin Races. He was riding the JMC Roofing Kawasaki machine which had been prepared by Ryan Farquhar. A infringement was found following the first race, which related to a bracket on the fairings of the machine. An appeal was immediately lodged and Cooper was allowed to enter the second race under appeal. The result of this infringement was then ruled to be disqualification from both races. The appeal process was already in action, as was the controversy.
The Appeal was finally upheld on 1st November 2023.
A statement from the MCUI(UC) concluded the following :
The 70th Macau Grand Prix takes place from 11th – 19th November 2023 and will bring together bikes and cars in a festival of motorsport like no other. The road racing element of the event is taken to the next level with an Armco enclosed circuit that is tight, fast and dangerous in equal and frightening measures.
This year will see numerous familiar names from the motorcycle road racing world take on the famous enclosed street circuit.

The 2023 Sunflower Trophy was held at Bishopscourt Race Circuit on 21st and 22nd October 2023 and marks the end of the Ulster Superbike Championship.
With horrendous weather stopping activities on Friday 20th October 2023 (main qualifying day) the organisers made the difficult (but absolutely correct decision) to amend the schedule, cancelling the Friday sessions and moving them to the Saturday. The Saturday’s schedule was then shifted to Sunday.
The result was two excellent (maybe a little chilly, but we can’t complain about that) days that enabled the full schedule to run and 2 brilliant days of track racing action to wind up the 2023 Season.
TBNI.Blog is happy to bring you an absolutely huge gallery from the 2023 Sunflower Trophy Races.
Over 450 photos are on the Official TBNI Facebook Page, the album is public so you don’t have to ‘Like’ the Page, but of course that would be very welcome too!
The Manx Motorcycle Club have today confirmed the dates for the 2024 Manx Grand Prix, announcing an expanded racing schedule with the return of one of the event’s most popular classes.
Five days of qualifying will commence on Sunday 18th August 2024 ahead of a six-race schedule spread across an action-packed Summer Bank Holiday weekend.
SIX RACE SCHEDULE :
Racing will begin on Friday 23rd August with both the Lightweight Manx Grand Prix featuring the ever-popular 2-stroke machines, and the Classic Senior Manx Grand Prix – brought forward from its previous Saturday slot as part of the expanded schedule.
Due to a clash with the 2024 BSB Calendar and a Bank Holiday Monday overlap with the 2024 North West 200 the Organisers have announced (via a Social Media post) a change to the upcoming Qualifying Schedule.
The organisers of the 2024 North West 200 will introduce significant changes to the qualifying schedule at this year’s event.
With many of the teams and riders that compete in the NW200 scheduled to race at the Oulton Park British Superbike championship meeting on Saturday-Monday, May 4-6 their arrival in Northern Ireland will be delayed until Tuesday, May 7.
As a result, and after consultation with BSB bosses, the North West 200 organisers will delay the start of this year’s practice and qualifying sessions until Wednesday, May 8.
There will also be a major rejig to the qualifying order at this year’s north coast event.
On Wednesday the traditional opening Newcomer session will now be followed by a one hour long Superbike qualifying session. On Thursday, the Superbikes will be the first machines on track.
Davey, who previously rode for the team during the 2018 season, will ride the team’s BMW M1000RR Superbike at the famous street race in the far east next month. We would like to thank Phillip Neill and Tas Racing for entrusting us with bringing Davey to compete at Macau, and also their support for the event. We very much look forward to having Davey back in the team, albeit for one race.
JOHN BURROWS –
“I am delighted to have Davey back riding one of our bikes again. After a great season together in 2018, we remained friends and always said if an opportunity arises to work together again we wouldn’t say no, so when Davey called me a couple of weeks ago to ask about the possibility of running him at Macau it did not take long for me to make my decision. Davey has shown in the past two BSB rounds that he works well with the BMW, and given his great form around Macau in the past, that is something that excites me looking ahead to next month.”
DAVEY TODD –
“I’m really excited to be rejoining with Burrows Engineering/RK Racing for the Macau GP. The team who I did my first TT with in 2018! We’ve talked about working together again every year since then I think, and it’s cool that we now get to do it with the support of my TAS Racing team on familiar BMW M1000RR machinery. It’s a perfect combination so I can’t wait to get out to Macau and get going!”
Paul Jordan started with Prez Racing 2021 have previously ridden with Burrows / RK Racing.
2022 brought the Jordan / Prez pairing a podium in the Supertwin class at the North West 200 and a third place podium finish in the TT Supertwin Race.
In 2023, Paul Jordan placed on the podium at the North West 200, finishing second in Supertwin race 1.
The spilt from Prez was announced in a Facebook Post.
“Sorry for the lack of post over the past few months.
Just been taking a time out and trying to put plans in place for 2024.
Unfortunately for myself and prez racing we won’t be going into 2024 together which is a shame, firstly I want to thank prez racing for everything over past few years, for what’s we achieved was amazing so I can’t thank them enough. For the mechanics that have a helped and put endless hours of effort in for me I will be forever grateful, so thank you for everything once again.
For my sponsors that has stood by me this year thank you again without you I couldn’t live my childhood dreams.
2024 is not in pending and I hope to have something in place very soon which can only bring nothing but excitement and drive back in to me to keep improving and make that next step.
Hope everyone is doing well and I’ll see you all soon”
