“I love the Tandragee 100 because it is the largest National Road Race in Ireland in that it has the longest lap of any National Road Race and has been praised by international competitors as a ‘mini TT’ with its fast sweeping corners, tight twisty sections, the 180mph Cabragh Straight," sshe said.

"The 5.3-mile course is a test of road racing unmatched by other national courses. It’s the only national event that runs clockwise and offers both fast and technical stretches which offers the competitors a real challenge and the opportunity to set up their bikes for the International Events including the NW200 and IOM TT.”
