Cookstown 100: Michael Dunlop in rare appearance on Moto3 Honda for Northern Ireland team Burrows Engineering/RK Racing
Michael Dunlop is set to make a rare appearance on a Moto3 machine for Dungannon team Burrows Engineering/RK Racing at the Bear Competitions Cookstown 100.
The Ballymoney rider is a late entry for the opening Irish road race of 2026.
Dunlop also has his MD Racing BMW at Orritor but does not appear to be riding his new Ducati V4R Superbike or Ducati Panigale V2 Supersport machine this weekend.
The Moto3/125GP/Supersport 300 race is the second event on a 15-race schedule on Saturday.
In a short statement, Burrows Racing said: “33 time TT winner Michael Dunlop will ride our Honda Moto3 at this weekend’s Cookstown 100.
“We always like to support the National Road races especially our local race so this will be a nice way to honour that support.”
Dunlop was a double winner at Cookstown in 2025, taking a win in the Supersport race and a Superbike victory and new outright lap record for the 2.1-mile course.
