    Lap 3/4

    Richard Cooper has decided it's time to go and he's pulled the pin.

    McLean and McWilliams can't get near him heading back to Portrush.

    Paul Jordan is still motoring along nicely in fourth, but further back than in the first race.

    Further back, Peter Hickman is out and has pulled over at University. That's his North West 200 over.

    Lap 3/4

    The trio are stuck together going through York and Cooper looks like he will blast past into Station but he rolls out of it.

    He's now into the lead into University. Can McLean and McWilliams hit back?

    Lap 2/4

    Yes, they can! McLean and McWilliams draft past Cooper into Mather's Cross and is back to third.

    McLean leads over the line again ahead of McWilliams and Cooper.

    Remember, it was the third lap that Cooper pulled the pin in the first race.

    The Supertwins are set to have their second race of the day. Will Richard Cooper make it two out of two?

    Richard Cooper (Starts 1st): "Yeah, the first Twin race we learnt quite a lot. It was nice to get that win under my belt and I can relax after it now. We are ready to go again now and we have made another small change with the wind. We are looking forward to it."

    Paul Jordan (Starts 3rd): "I just don't have the speed of Jeremy, Richard or Adam. I still enjoyed the race, let them do a bit of damage and I picked up the pieces. We've left the bike how it was. I'm willing to hang it out and ride on."

  16. Lomas savours 'incredible' NW200 experiencepublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 13 May 2023

    Claire Lomas has described completing a lap at the North West 200 as "absolutely incredible".

    Claire was left paralysed from the chest down following a horse-riding accident in 2007.

    She said: "Just the support and the people out there, Mervyn Whyte for being brave enough to let me do it because I know they were a bit worried about it.

    "I was a bit worried about it, but I'm still velcrod on!"

  17. 'Great race' - Toddpublished at 14:42 British Summer Time 13 May 2023

    Superbike race one runner-up Davey Todd:

    "It was a great race with my mate Glenn. Dean [Harrison] was in the mix as well. I knew it'd be tough. I sat there and tried to save the tyre. The wind is strong out there, we're a bit all over the road.

    "Great race with the boys, Glenn was leading well. I was looking forward to the last few laps to see if I could shake things up but well done Glenn."

  18. Postpublished at 14:37 British Summer Time 13 May 2023

    After the start to the week he was having, that's another strong recovery from Glenn Irwin.

    Don't forget, there is another Superbike race in the final outing of the day.

    Next up, it's the Supertwins.

  19. Irwin hopes Seeley accepts apology after collisionpublished at 14:36 British Summer Time 13 May 2023

    Glenn Irwin has also apologised following a collision with Alastair Seeley at Ballysally:

    "I was absolutely sure I was ahead of him going into the roundabout. We've connected. I was shaking my head. He was asking why that was. I was shaking my head in disbelief at him hitting into me. I would never ride like that, not in a road race.

    "I've tried to apologise and I hope he accepts it. There's a lot of water under the bridge between us two so I hope he accepts that one."

  20. 'I felt in control' - Irwinpublished at 14:34 British Summer Time 13 May 2023

    Superbike race one winner Glenn Irwin says he hopes for a good outcome after a rider came off at Black Hill:

    "It's difficult to over-celebrate when you're not sure, we must remain professional and respect whoever is injured. I just hope for a good outcome.

    "What a turnaround. When I came here this week, I knew what I wanted and I knew what we had. It wasn't what I wanted and it was matching up to that on track, but to be fair to the boys, they've went outside the budget to get me what I needed.

    "The bike's been faultless. On Thursday I felt like I was riding like a maniac and I could never win the race. Today I felt I was riding at 70%, pushing hard on some corners, but I felt in control."
