Michael Dunlop is confirmed to compete at the 2015 Cookstown 100.
The meeting will mark Michael’s first pure road racing action of the season, it will also mark the 11 times TT winner’s first action between the hedges on the all new R1M Yamaha.
Last years Cookstown 100 saw the fastest rider in TT history from a standing start produce a typically determined and top class all round performance in feature supersport race.
Race victory was secured as Michael defied an arm injury as he secured his first supersport 600 race win around Cookstown after a great battle throughout with Derek Mcgee, Derek Sheils and William Dunlop.
