Michael Dunlop has matched his father, Robert, on 135 Irish road racing wins, putting him joint-third on the all-time winners list behind Ryan Farquhar (211) and Joey Dunlop (156).

Dunlop, who earlier this month extended his TT record to 36 wins, won a total of four races at the Tandragee 100 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

Dunlop won both Superbike races on his MD Racing BMW M1000 RR machine, as well as victory in the Supersport class aboard his Ducati Panigale V2, which is the same bike that propelled him to victory in the Supersport TT races. Finally, the 37-year-old racer also claimed victory in the Moto3 class aboard his Burrows Engineering/RK Racing Honda.

While Dunlop’s success means he is now level with his father on 135 Irish road racing wins, his victories at the 62nd Around-A-Pound Tandragee 100 have also seen him move into third on the all-time winners list at the event. The road racing legend has officially moved on to 17 wins thanks to his quadruple, putting him one shy of Joey Dunlop (18) and three behind Farquhar (20).

Speaking after the Open Superbike race on Saturday, June 27, the Belfast News Letter quoted Dunlop as saying:

“It was really good. I fell into the race a wee bit and ended up getting the result. It was good, but the conditions were tricky, though it’s the same for everybody.

“It’s quite funny because round the back was very wet still and it’s fast here, so when there’s conditions like that you may multiply it by one hundred because you’re going so quickly through it.”

Like the 2026 TT, organisers of the Tandragee 100 were faced with challenging conditions, red flags and delays, which ultimately led to the Classic Superbike race being cancelled as a result.

The Senior Support race was stopped twice due to red flags, and was ultimately abandoned. One of the stoppages was caused by a serious crash involving a rider who was airlifted to hospital, before organisers confirmed he was receiving “specialised care”.
