Lando Norris ready to forget Piastri crash
Lando Norris admitted to having "not the most joyful conversations" with McLaren following his collision with teammate Oscar Piastri in Canada. Norris accepted full responsibility for the incident, which resulted in his retirement from the race and left him 22 points off the title pace. He expressed feeling "very bad for the team" and described his actions as foolish, stating it was the last thing he wanted to happen. Despite the on-track incident, Norris confirmed that he and Piastri remain free to race each other, emphasising their continued trust and honesty. The team aims to maintain strong internal dynamics, avoiding the downfall seen in other teams, and ensuring fair but hard racing without a repeat of the Montreal collision.

Isle of Man TT star among big names in the field for return of Tandragee 100
The popular Co Armagh meeting is a favourite for competitors, with the spectacular 5.3-mile course often referred to as the 'Mini TT'. Crucial resurfacing work has now been carried out, which had prevented the famous race from taking place in 2023 and 2024. Event co-ordinator and former Clerk of the Course Anne Forsythe said: 'After two long years of not being able to host the event due to a delay in getting resurfacing work carried out, we are thrilled to be celebrating 61 years of the Around A Pound Tandragee 100 Motorcycle Road Races. 'We would like to thank the then Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd, for committing the necessary funds in 2024/25 and all those councillors, MPs and MLAs who supported us in this venture. 'A special mention also to Ian Milne for assisting us over the three years it took to get this across the line.' Traditionally held in May, the event has been moved to a new June date, with practice and qualifying taking place on Friday, June 27 and the main race day on Saturday, June 28. Isle of Man TT star Conor Cummins is among the standout names on the entry list with Dungannon's Burrows Engineering/RK Racing Team. The Ramsey man claimed a best result of fifth in the second Superstock race at the TT last week with a fastest lap of 131.528mph on the BMW M1000RR, which was the quickest ever by a rider for John Burrows' team. Cummins raced at Tandragee once before, making his debut in 2007 on Yamaha machinery for the JMF Millsport Racing team. Another leading contender is fellow TT rider Shaun Anderson, who is a member of the organising North Armagh Club. Anderson was fortunate to escape injury after a crash in the Superbike TT race at Joey's, which left him with cuts and bruises. The Banbridge man – a Mountain Course winner in 2024 in the Senior Classic Manx Grand Prix race – will be a key protagonist at Tandragee. Skerries rider Michael Sweeney is not listed on the official press release but recently expressed a desire to return to Tandragee. The Republic of Ireland rider achieved a lifetime dream of finishing on the podium in May at the North West 200 on his Aprilia Supertwin machine and would be the rider to beat if he arrives in the paddock. The line-up also includes former Senior Manx Grand Prix winners Joe Yeardsley and Daniel Ingham, plus Ballymoney's Darryl Tweed – also a past MGP winner – and the Isle of Man's Marcus Simpson, who was the runner-up behind Yeardsley in the 2023 Senior race at the Manx. Newcomer Amalric Blanc from France adds international flavour to the grid and is fresh from an impressive 12th place in the opening Superstock race at the TT on his 1000cc Honda. Ballymena's Neil Kernohan and Ryan Whitehall from the Isle of Wight will be out to make their mark at Tandragee, while Andy Farrell, Liam and James Chawke are among a large contingent of competitors from the Republic of Ireland. Derek McGee, a double winner at the Cookstown 100 in April, is set to miss out through injury after he was caught up in a crash during the opening round of the International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) at Hengelo in the Netherlands in May. A total of 113 competitors and 50 newcomers have entered this year's race, which has an increased prize fund of £13,000. Roads will close on Friday, June 27 for practice from 11.00am-9.00pm and on Saturday, June 28 for racing from 9.30am-7.00pm.

New Zealander set to make North West 200 debut
The 31-year-old will join 2024 treble winner Davey Todd in the Milenco by Padgett's Racing Team and will ride a 1000cc Honda Superstock machine in the Superbike and Superstock races. Rees beat Todd and top road racer Peter Hickman at the Wanganui Cemetery Circuit in New Zealand last Boxing Day and has been granted the opportunity to step up his road racing involvement this year at the NW200 and Isle of Man TT by vastly experienced team boss Clive Padgett. 'I enjoy street circuits,' said Rees, who visited the Triangle course on the north coast with Todd last week. 'I found them terrifying at first but I learned to make them flow and I started to have some fun. 'These roads are very different to the New Zealand tracks though - none of them at home are this long or as fast.' Rees' brother Damon passed away in 2023 after battling a non-racing related illness after coming to the UK to compete in the British Supersport Championship. He will ride with the number 92 plate used by his late brother, but has not set himself any big goals in his first year at the event. 'I have no expectation of any kind of a result for this year,' he said. 'There is so much to learn so I want to do that with minimal risk and come back next year with a plan.'
