Dr. John Hinds, aka "The Flying Doctor," rode one of the world's fastest ambulances. Irish Road Racing has some of the fastest, longest and most dangerous motorcycle races in the world. Dr. Hinds followed racers on his superbike loaded with medical equipment, hitting 340 kmph (210 mph) to get to injured riders in time, and saved countless lives. In 2015, he was killed while responding to a crash. He was 37. Thousands of bikers joined his funeral motorcade. A year later, an air ambulance was launched, the helicopter named after his callsign, Delta 7.

Michael Dunlop wins the grand final by 8 seconds & does the superbike double at Tandragee. He goes home with the outright lap record, and the supersport lap record. Not bad for a day’s work.

Do. Not. Blink.

Extremely odd and very funny to see the king of the mountain rip round the Tandragee 100 course today wearing a newcomers bib. 33 TT’s counts for nothing, rules are rules! 😂

Best of luck to all competing at the Tandragee 100. Thanks to the marshals, medics & club members, & safe home to all riders.

Don’t forget to buy your program. Support the sport! 🏍️ 💚☘️

One week from today the roar of engines will be ringing around the hills of Tandragee; the course is looking the best I’ve ever seen it and you can see why it’s the rider’s favourite.

Just under 2 weeks until the best road race in the world comes roaring back to the calendar. 5.3 miles of tarmac laid by Jesus himself, apparently! 😜
