Just a reminder about the times from Tuesday's session.

Alastair Seeley was fastest with a lap of 116.751 mph, narrowly ahead of Richard Cooper.

It's still a touch damp at Ballysally but it looks like it is drying rapidly.

Adam McLean has just posted a 113.673 so the gap is rapidly shrinking.

The Supersport machines are on track and blasting their way down to University.

American husband and wife Cory West and Patricia Fernandez-West are both competing in this year's North West 200.

Patricia is an experienced racer at the event, while Cory is taking part for the first time and on the smaller capacity Supertwins.

The North West 200 roared into gear on Tuesday with the first qualifying session, and with the second practice now well underway, it will soon be time for the racing action to begin.

Three races are scheduled for Thursday evening, with the remaining five events on the programme to be staged on Saturday.

As in recent years, there will be four different classes of competition for fans to thrill to around the 8.9-mile Triangle circuit.

BBC Sport takes you through each of the racing categories to assess who the possible winners might be and offer some information and fascinating facts you may not be aware of.

After being unwell on Tuesday, Glenn Irwin says a swim with dolphins (yes, really) has helped him on his road to recovery.

We don't think David Attenborough has anything to worry about just yet.

With track conditions changeable, many of the Superstock riders have opted to sit out this session or just do one lap in the knowledge that their times from Tuesday's session are set to decide their grid positions for tonight's race and the second event on Saturday.

We're 25 minutes through the Superstock session. Just like the Supertwins earlier on it looks like Tuesday's times will dominate.

Here's how things stand so far.

1. James Hillier 111.119 mph

2. Michael Rutter 110.685

3. Dean Harrison 109.344

4. Anthony Redmond 102.523

5. Paul Cranston 102.411

6. Amalric Blanc 102.399

7. Eddy Ferre 102.139

8. Raul Torras 101.145

The top 26 from Tuesday are faster than the fastest time so far.

James Hillier is setting the early pace on his OMG Racing Yamaha.

His best speed of 111.119mph is about 10mph down on Tuesday, which maybe gives an indication of the conditions.

Michael Rutter is straight out as he looks to qualify after issues in the opening session. He's not qualified as it stands.

It looks like Glenn Irwin and Josh Brookes got out for a lap on their Superbike after their struggles on Tuesday.

A stream of riders come back into the pits.

It's Seeley on pole as it stands.

Will anyone challenge him in this final qualifying session?

You're looking at speeds of 121.924mph to topple the Wee Wizard, or a time of 4:21.769.

The Stockers are on the grid and hopefully it won't be long before we get going.

It's still glorious up at the paddock but the joys of a nine-mile circuit mean it varies around the circuit.

Ride onboard with Dean Harrison in opening Supersport practice, Lee Johnston on the Superbike and Stefano Bonetti on the Supertwin at the North West 200.

Strap in and enjoy!

Alastair Seeley was fastest on Tuesday with a time of 4:21.769, which was actually faster than anyone in the Superbike session.

That's 123.361 mph, let's see if anyone can get close to that with the track still drying.

Record wins holder Alastair Seeley was fastest in the Supersport and Superstock sessions, and was second in Superbike practice behind Dunlop.

"The Superbike felt very stable and it felt quite fast. I think it is the fastest I have ever been round here at 207 mph," said Seeley, who was riding the Ducati V2 Supersport bike for the first time around the Triangle Circuit.

"We just rattled off the laps to see how the tyres would feel for the duration of a race distance.

"On the Stocker, at the beginning it was a bit damp and sketchy, so you never knew going into places whether there had been a big downpour or if it was just spitting.

"We were cautious for a lap or two to get up to speed and then we managed to do a pretty good time, which was near enough three seconds faster than what we managed to do on the Superbike.

"I knew it was a pretty good lap. To be on my own, doing it on my own without a slipstream and not really being in qualifying mode, to be one second off the lap record is pretty good."

"It means we can juggle the two Superbike and Superstock feelings and make two good motorbikes out of all this information."

Here's the grid for the Supertwin races as Tuesday's times dominate due to the damp conditions this morning.

Either way, it's Richard Cooper on pole position.

1. Richard Cooper 111.723mph

2. Jeremy McWilliams 110.418

3. Paul Jordan 108.800

4. Adam McLean 108.503

5. Michael Dunlop 107.924

6. Lee Johnston 107.575

7. Michael Sweeney 107.420

8. Stefano Bonetti 107.257

9. Peter Hickman 107.155

10. Joe Loughlin 104.946

Peter Hickman said conditions were improving early in the session but there's been a bit of a downpour around the back end of the circuit.

That could make things tricky for the Superstock machines coming up.

1. Richard Cooper 105.225 mph

2. Peter Hickman 104.276

3. Lee Johnston 104.223

4. Christian Elkin 101.813

5. Michael Rutter 101.421

6. Barry Graham 99.451

7. Andy Hornby 98.746

8. Kris Duncan 98.560
