Milenco by Padgetts Honda rider Davey Todd recorded Supersport and the headline Race of Legends victories on Dunlop tyres at the Armoy Road Races in Northern Ireland. The British rider also set a new average speed record to round off a dominant event. Most Dunlop riders used the fully slick KR109 and KR106 front and KR108 rear tyres in the Race of Legends, while the treaded D213 Pro was used in other classes.
The performance at Armoy follows a commanding display at the Isle of Man TT, where every solo-class winner was equipped with Dunlop tyres. Todd also celebrated Manx wins a few weeks later at the Southern 100, when the Padgetts Honda rider claimed victory in five of the seven Superbike and Supersport races.
At Armoy last weekend, Todd was victorious in both Supersport races on his way to breaking the all-time record in Saturday’s seven-lap Race of Legends, clocking an average speed of 108.5 mph (174.6 km/h) around the 3.03-mile (4.87 km) course. This beat Michael Dunlop’s previous record set on Dunlop tyres in 2021 of a 106.9 mph (172.0 km/h) average lap speed.
Pat Walsh, event leader road racing, Dunlop, said: “I’d like to thank all the riders and teams who selected Dunlop as their tyre of choice. We’re proud to have won so many road races this season and it’s been an honour to work with so many talented riders. Congratulations to Davey Todd for his success this year; it has been an impressive campaign.”
