With the Irish road racing calendar wiped out due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have delved into the archives to look back at some special moments in the sport over the years.

At the 2008 Cookstown 100, it was Ryan Farquhar who did the double in the Superbike class on the McAdoo Racing Kawasaki, while Scotsman Keith Amor celebrated victory in the Supersport class and Robert and Michael Dunlop won the 125cc and 250cc races respectively.

Road racing legend Robert Dunlop was a comfortable winner of the 125cc race.
