Darragh Murphy

At just 14 years of age Darragh is already proving his pedigree in the sport of Motorcycle racing having completed a successful 2009 season where he scored seven wins, and fifteen podiums, and most importantly securing the 2009 Irish Clubmans Production 125 championship sponsored by North Dublin Motorcycles onboard his Aprilia. Along the way, this red hot form saw Darragh given the opportunity to ride a GP125 machine in the Irish National championship. The diminutive young County Limerick School Boy also dipped his Toes in to the UK Thundersport scene sampling the GP125 action at Brands Hatch and Anglesey gaining him valuable experience of learning unfamiliar circuits which will stand by him for future seasons.

The 2010 season will see Darragh begin the season in March at Almeria in Spain where he will receive some personalised technical race training from none other than ex MotoGP rider Jeremy McWilliams.

The main thrust of Darragh’s 2010 campaign will be make a strong impact on the Thundersport GB championship which receives UK wide Television coverage. The Thundersport championship is the natural stepping stone up to British championship level and Darragh will (date clashes and budget permitting) also aim to sample one or two British championship GP125 races.

To ensure Darragh stays sharp racing as often as possible, the youngster also hopes to take in selected Irish national championship races as well as the high profile Mondello Masters races. Further from home Darragh aims to also sample a Spanish CMV championship meeting all with the aim of gaining more track time and more on-bike experience and circuit knowledge against increased competition to bring him on to the next level at this a critical age in his fledgling career.

If all goes to plan Darragh will have competed many racing miles against stiffer competition, adapted to new challenges and circuits and this should leave him in a great position to aim for the British 125 championship in the 2011 season.
