Dunlop’s dramatic Superbike win at the North West 200 was named Race of the Year.

Jonathan Rea, who called time on his distinguished World Superbike career at the end of the 2025 season, was presented with a Special Recognition Award in light of his six consecutive titles in the series from 2015 to 2020.

Donegal rider Rhys Irwin was chosen as Short Circuit Rider of the Year after winning the British Supersport championship, with Ulster Superbike champion and Sunflower Trophy winner Carl Phillips the Short Circuit Rider of the Year on Irish circuits.
