Perfect timing on restart to synchro with MotoGP sprint race. God the NW makes the blue ribband event look tame.
I once asked an Irish racer how far you could bend the rules at the NW200, he said it depends how Irish you are.
Great coverage on the iplayer. I had a full nw200 sofa day on Saturday. It's all still on the iplayer if anybody missed it.
Definitely worth watching if you haven’t. I’ve been reading the post race reports and the fallout regards Mathers chicane. PH has said that he will pull his team from future events. That’ll be a big loss especially if DT isn’t there. It also mentioned that FHO are now sponsoring MD on the roads this year!
Quite impressive from Storm Stacy considering he started the day off being shown the course by M Rutter (who also paid for his bike apparently!)...

I thought he was riding a Beemer, not because the Ducati was late but because he wants time to develop it first.
Comms said fireblade and also says so here https://www.crash.net/rr/results/1094512/1/2026-north-west-200-qualifying-results-wednesday Didn’t look like a beemer from what I saw either.
