After a glorious and incident free Thursday night Saturday Race Day had a lot to live up to!
It did live up to it and then some!
With a reported 120,000 visitors to Northern Ireland’s North Coast the sun came, it was scorching – the crowds came – they were loving it – and the racing came – with the world’s best road racers putting on a show the like the North West hadn’t seen for years.
It was a true spectacle, road racing at its finest and – incident free. Only one red flag, new comer Nadieh Schoots came off at University and thankfully only suffered a badly bruised leg.
This was exactly what the NW200 needed after a few less that perfect years and was a real testament to everyone involved coupled with a little luck (weather) – but we all need a little luck sometimes!
(For info these photos were taken on the Coast Road between Portrush and Portstewart – just up from Tides Restaurant on the opposite side of the road).
Enjoy…

The Isle of Man TT has officially called time on 14 years of Supertwin machinery, locking in full Sportbike regulations from TT 2027. Moving away from runaway build costs and bespoke exotica, the switch introduces a proven Balance of Performance formula aligned with the British National Championship—promising tighter grids, major factory backing, and an affordable, direct runway to the Mountain Course for the next generation of road racers.
