North West 200 in review

The traditional lead-up event to the iconic Isle Of Man TT, the North West 200 is run over 200 miles in the North West of Ireland, and has (in its current format) since 1930. It has grown immensely in both competitor numbers and interested spectators, to arrive at Ireland’s biggest sporting event, and one of the world’s fastest – and most dangerous — road races.

The 2015 International North West 200, was not short of excitement, as unpredictable weather made for a challenging event for teams, riders and spectators alike.

Racing kicked off proper on the Thursday with the first Supersport race.  Alastair Seeley, who qualified on pole, took first place on his BMW.

Road racing royalty Michael Dunlop, followed by Lee Johnston.

KMR Kawasaki had a superb day, taking first and second in the first Supertwin race, Jeremy McWilliams won the four-lapper, with Ryan Farquhar in second, giving them their second 1-2 result in a row. Jamie Hamilton followed, with Christian Elkin and Derek McGee just missing out on the podium.

There were six races scheduled for Saturday, but due to some unfortunate events, only four were completed.  Rescheduled from Thursday to Saturday due to a crash, the Superstock race was then cancelled completely when Stephen Thompson, Horst Saiger and Dean Harrison were involved in an incident between York Corner and Mill Road Roundabout. A female spectator was caught up in the crash, and was hospitalised into a critical condition along with Thompson. Luckily, both were announced stable later in the week.

Australian competitor, and North West 200 rookie, David Johnson talked about the need to compensate for the high winds, which was present for the duration, causing the feature superbike event to be cancelled. 

The Tyco BMW rider, Alastair Seeley faired strongly, dominating the majority of the day’s events. Seeley won the Bet Mclean Supersport race to tie with Robert Dunlop’s record of 15 race wins.

“I have been coming here since I was child and Robert and Joey Dunlop were heroes of mine,” said Alastair Seeley. “To be with those guys is totally awesome and to equal Robert’s record is very special to me.”

Alastair was also very close to victory in the CP Hire Limited Superstock race, but was passed in the final lap by ECR/Burdens BMW Rider, Lee Johnston.
