Martin Jessop astride Number 40 leads the pack into York Corner on the first lap of the Supertwin race of the Northwest 200 of 2016. It was during lap three of this race that a young rider paid the ultimate price and the meeting was subsequently ended. Northern Ireland is the forerunner in the world of motorcycle road racing and with the progress of engineering as it is, it is little wonder that questions are being asked as to what speeds motor cycle road racers will be permitted to have access to in the future. During this meeting, Michael Dunlop recorded a speed of just over 210 MPH.
