2021 Cookstown 100 : Michael Dunlop, Will He or Won’t He?

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
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.

Spectators information :

Over the last few days we have been inundated with messages and email enquiring do spectators need to book online or even require a wristband to attend.

The club wishes to inform anyone who wishes to attend of the following information.

** The 2021 Cookstown 100 is organised as a CLOSED EVENT TO THE PUBLIC and is documented as such with government departments, so any member of the public cannot just turn up, regardless of the way it has been in the past. This aspect of the club running our event as a ‘closed event’ may differ from recent events which have been held, perhaps leading to this confusion within the public.

** General public cannot turn up and stand in a landowners field as you will not be insured to do so unless you have relevant items such as armbands etc from organising club or the landowner has given you permission to do so and has accepts responsibility for you being in their land and covered under their insurance rather than the promoting clubs insurance. The landowner has the right to remove you from their land if you do not have permission to be on it, as do club officals should landowners advise us to do so.

** Wristbands are required to gain access to the circuit after passing various security checks by psni and private security.

** Booking online must be done to comply with track and trace requirements by government departments.

2021 Armoy Results and Galleries

2021 Armoy Results and Galleries :


Update : 07/08/2021 : Galleries from EVERY 2021 Saturday Race Added! See them underneath each Race Result!


Road Racing came back to Northern Ireland in 2021 with the first of two planned events coming to the County Antrim village of Armoy. We haven’t had racing in Armoy since 2019, in fact 2020 only saw a Cookstown event squeeze into the racing calendar.

However, the Armoy Club planned meticulously for the entire year, with regular updates and plans getting made public for a ticket only event to run on 30th / 31st July 2021.

That ticket only event quickly became a sell out and the planning paid off. The event was pretty much perfect.

It saw starting grids full of bikes in every class, from Support to Classics to Supersports to Supertwins and of course, Superbikes.

Friday was a qualification day with a couple of races at the end, both of which saw wins for local man, Michael Dunlop. The start of what would become a perfect weekend for Dunlop.

Then came race day and a packed race day at that. 11 planned races and all 11 ran. A red flag in the first race saw that race being declared a result after 5 laps, but from here on we were treated to a pretty much incident free race day right up until the final race, the Grand Final, the ‘Race of Legends.’

A red flag incident on the warm up lap saw a slight delay, but what followed was a Masterclass of road racing by Michael Dunlop as he raced seamlessly to his 9th Consecutive ‘Race of Legends’ Title.

Every race is deserving of a mention so in an attempt to avoid spoilers, the results are all below. Click the “+” beside the Race name to see the full results.

Bikes! will show on BBC1 Northern Ireland on 3rd August 2021 at 22:35 so make sure to set your reminders, failing that no doubt it will be available on the iPlayer after this time.
