On behalf of the North Armagh Motorcyle & Car Club (Tarmac Section) Ltd is with profound sadness that we confirm James Walsh has passed away in hospital after being airlifted from the event last Saturday. We are completely heartbroken by this tragic loss, and our entire club is mourning a truly valued member of our racing community.
Road racing is a sport built on shared passion and tight bonds, which makes a loss like this resonate deeply with every rider, official, and fan. Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with his partner Claire, his Mom Geraldine, the rest of his family, friends, and his own club members during this incredibly devastating time.
We want to express our immense gratitude to the MCUI UC Medical Team, the air ambulance crew, and the medical staff who fought so hard to save him. Out of respect for his family as they navigate this immense grief, we ask everyone to respect their privacy and allow them the time and space they need.
2026 Tandragee 100 Results :
The opening day of the 62nd Tandragee 100 presented competitors with a day of almost uninterrupted sunshine. That however brought its own problems as the evening progressed the sun became a problem as it got lower in the beautiful early summer sky. That coupled with an incident involving a belligerent spectator meant that the two Friday evening races were unfortunately cancelled.
In the premier Supersport qualifying session, Cork’s Michael Browne demonstrated exceptional form aboard the Boyce Precision Engineering/Russell Racing Yamaha. Browne was the only rider to break the three-minute barrier, securing pole position with a commanding lap of 2:59.629.
Multi-time Isle of Man TT winner Michael Dunlop MBE spearheaded the chase, qualifying second with a :03.00.084, while Skerries rider Michael Sweeney completed the front row (3:02.944).

The planning and funding stages are very much underway, with various meetings with the local council LCCC and amenity providers on the course preparation.
Areas of road surface in need of repair have been identified with DFI Roads Eastern division and meetings with Openreach on relocation of several telegraph poles have taken place with positive discussions.

2026 North West 200 Qualifying Session 2 : Thursday 7th May 2026 :

2026 North West 200 Qualifying Session 1 : Wednesday 6th May 2026 :
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.
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.
