The Thursday morning qualifying session of the 2026 NW200 was halted due to a red flag during the first session, for the Superbikes. Tragically a rider died in the incident and the day time qualifying session did not resume.

Cooper and McWilliams Master the “Triangle” in Rain-Hit NW200 Opener

The North Coast of Northern Ireland welcomed the road racing elite today for the opening practice sessions of the 2026 North West 200. While the atmosphere in the paddock was electric, the weather proved a temperamental host. Heavy rain spells and shifting winds across the 8.9-mile “Triangle” course forced riders to contend with a stop-start schedule and a rapidly evolving track surface.

Despite the tricky conditions, two names dominated the conversation: Richard Cooper and the ageless Jeremy McWilliams.

Superbike: Cooper’s BMW Masterclass

The premier class hit the tarmac under a grey, damp sky that tested both courage and tire choice. Richard Cooper proved he is the man to beat this week, navigating the BMW to a blistering 4m 51.332s lap. He finished a comfortable 2.6 seconds ahead of Honda’s Paul Jordan.

2026 Southern 100 Schedule :

The Southern 100 Road Races Committee is pleased to announce the proposed schedule for the 2026 Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races.

The 2026 programme will broadly follow the established format of recent years, beginning on Monday 6th July with newcomer familiarisation and qualifying. Sessions are scheduled to run from 6:00pm until approximately 9:40pm, allowing for two qualifying sessions per solo class and one session for sidecars.

On Tuesday, competitors will take part in a further qualifying session for each class, followed by the opening two races of the meeting.

A key addition to the 2026 schedule is an extra qualifying session on Wednesday morning. Subject to road closure approval, roads will close at 9:45am and reopen by 11:50am, providing sufficient time for one qualifying session per class.

Racing will then continue Wednesday evening, with road closures from 6:00pm until 9:40pm.

The most successful rider in the history of the Briggs Equipment North West 200, Alastair Seeley, is set to return to the iconic north coast event in 2026 with one clear objective — securing a milestone 30th race victory.

The 46-year-old Carrickfergus rider will compete in the Supersport class at the May 4–9 event aboard a Binch Pro Racing Ducati, backed by 3B Construction. With 29 wins already to his name around the legendary 8.9-mile Triangle course, Seeley remains as motivated as ever to extend his record.

A Champion’s Drive Remains Undiminished

After missing the 2024 event due to a lack of competitive machinery, Seeley returned last year and made an immediate impact. He secured a podium finish in the Merrow Hotel Superbike race on the Nicholl Oils/SMS BMW — a performance that reinforced his enduring competitiveness.

However, for Seeley, the story remains unfinished.
