Race 4 – Davey Todd triumphs in Superstock
Race 6 – Davey Todd wins Superbike finale
Supertwin race one (Four laps)
The riders are off on their sighting lap around the 8.9 mile circuit.
Given the beautiful weather today, warm-up lap doesn't seem like the right way of phrasing things as it's already pretty toasty out there.
Aprilia's Jeremy McWilliams speaking on BBC iPlayer: "I can't believe its over a decade since I started racing here. I am enjoying it more than ever.
"I think last year's North West was so much fun for me, nice and relaxed and no stress.
"When I first started to come to the North West, I was much more stressed than I am now. I am a bit more easy going about everything, but my team wouldn't tell you that!"
KMR rider Richard Cooper, who starts on pole position, speaking on BBC iPlayer: "I enjoyed the day off yesterday, I went around the north coast with the family. It's nice to have a day in-between Thursday and today.
"Today is the big day and this is when the crowd turns up. I have three great races, two Supertwin and one Supersport.
"The bikes are feeling good. We have made some changes. The wind direction has changed which plays a massive part in the North West 200.
"I'm ready to go."
Aprilia's Paul Jordan, who starts in third, speaking on BBC iPlayer: "I'm feeling good. I got a good night's sleep and I've put Thursday behind me. Today is a new day and I'm ready to get stuck in and try redeem myself a bit.
"We had a really good Thursday practice and we kind of fell apart in the races. I just want to enjoy myself and do what I have done all year and enjoy riding my motorcycle."
Adam McLean, who starts in second place, speaking on BBC iPlayer: "We had a look at the data after Thursday, obviously we only have the one session, and it's tricky because you have to make a calculated change and you only get one go at it.
"We'll see how it goes after the warm-up lap as we'll potentially leave it or make another change.
"I'm just trying to keep myself focused, calm and we'll see how we go."

Supertwins are the bikes that benefit the most from the slipstreams and you have to stay in that slipstream to be in with a chance of getting a result.
Supertwin race one (Four laps)
Image source, PacemakerRichard Cooper qualified on pole position for Saturday's two Supertwin races at the North West 200.
KMR Kawasaki rider Cooper, who has four wins in the class to his name, was fastest ahead of home riders Adam McLean and Paul Jordan.
Peter Hickman, who won both races last year, was fourth while former MotoGP rider Jeremy McWilliams rounded out the top five.
After three red flags on Wednesday forced the Supertwins' qualifying session to be cancelled, the class opened Thursday's running with an hour-long session.
England's Cooper and Yamaha rider McLean traded fastest times in the early stages of the session.
Cooper eventually pulled clear with a lap of 4:48.326, which was 0.754 seconds faster than McLean.
They will be joined on the front row for the two races on Saturday by Jordan, who has had an impressive start to his North West 200.
Hickman, McWilliams and Michael Sweeney will start on the second row, while the returning Jamie Coward and Michael Rutter round out the top eight.

Lee Johnston
Five-time winner on BBC iPlayer
We have been spoilt with the weather all week but the wind has picked up today.
This is the first time that there is going to be a proper headwind on the run to Coleraine. That is going to make a big difference to the little bikes, so it'll be interesting to see if we see any gear changes after the first warm-up lap.

Richard Petrie
BBC Sport at the North West 200
Thursday's three races threw up a number of talking points for Saturday's programme at the North West 200.
Can Michael Dunlop pick up at least another win to join an elite band of riders who have secured hat-tricks over the Triangle circuit?
Having clinched a maiden Superbike win on Thursday can Davey Todd add to that tally and to his seven victories overall to date?
Could Dean Harrison take a first-ever NW200 win and will Peter Hickman get in on the act?
Can Alastair Seeley recover from a disappointing day on Thursday to extend his record number of wins to 30?
Plenty to whet the appetite folks...
Image source, PacemakerIan Hutchinson says he "kept believing" that he could return to being competitive in motorcycle road racing after suffering adversity in the form of a number of serious injury and illness setbacks which threatened to derail his career completely.
The Yorkshireman was speaking after finishing third in Thursday's Superstock race at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland.
The 45-year-old had multiple operations after suffering compound fractures to his leg in a crash at Silverstone in 2010, the same year that he won a record five races in one week at the Isle of Man TT.
Hutchinson displayed unimaginable resilence by heroically bouncing back to take his overall tally of TT wins to 16 in subsequent years but a major crash in the 2017 Senior TT saw him suffer another crushing blow in the form of a fractured femur.
After two lost years because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the three-time North West winner then suffered a stroke in 2023 which resulted in him have his racing licence revoked.
He returned to road racing action again in 2024 but had to settle for a series of top-15 TT finishes.
"It's been a nightmare really. Eight years of being nowhere near the pace but I kept believing in myself," Hutchinson told BBC Sport NI.
"I carried on going, training hard, everything, its been hard.
"I hope my daughter is watching and has seen that Daddy can still ride."
Image source, PacemakerAlastair Seeley says he will "regroup and go again" after an engine issue forced him out of Thursday's Superbike and Superstock races at the North West 200.
The engine of Seeley's BMW spectacularly blew up on the run to Mill Road roundabout on the opening lap of the Superbike race, and the lack of time for repairs meant he did not start the Superstock race.
The 45-year-old is aiming for a record-extending 30th win at the international road race on his return to the NW200 after missing the event last year.
Seeley admitted it "wasn't our night" on the north coast of Northern Ireland.
"I tried my best to get off the track as quickly and safely as possible," Seeley posted on Facebook.
"We were unable to retrieve or replace the engine in time to complete the Superstock race.
"Very disappointing for the team and I after so much effort and promising results but we will regroup and go again on Saturday."
Record wins holder Alastair Seeley is back at the North West 200 after missing last year, and he'll be looking to add to his tally.

Image source, PacemakerThe North West 200 is an international road race that takes place on 8.9 miles of closed public roads between the towns of Portrush, Portsewart and Coleraine.
There are four different classes at the event. Supertwin is the 'slowest' (not a term I use lightly) class, followed by the Supersport, Superstock and the blue ribband Superbike class.
The Superbikes can reach up to speeds of 200mph on the run down to University corner.
Some of the big riders to look out for are Michael Dunlop, Alastair Seeley, Davey Todd, Peter Hickman and Dean Harrison.
There are practice and qualifying days on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by the first batch of races on Thursday evening.
Saturday is a day full of racing, ending with the feature North West 200 Superbike race
Superbike race (six laps)
Image source, PacemakerDavey Todd led from start to finish to claim his first Superbike win at the North West 200 on Thursday night.
Riding a BMW for the 8TEN Racing team, the Yorkshireman had just two tenths of a second to spare over runner-up Dean Harrison at the finishing line.
Todd's team-mate Peter Hickman, the pole position man, was a further 1.4 seconds adrift in completing the podium places, with Michael Dunlop, Ian Hutchinson and Jamie Coward completing the top six.
The leading three riders were all targeting a first NW200 Superbike win.
Glenn Irwin had dominated the feature blue riband class of the meeting since 2017, racking up 11 consecutive successes before deciding to end his road racing career.
Todd had previously won six races over the 8.9-mile Triangle circuit, four in the Supersport class and two Superstock victories in 2024.
Here's how you can follow the action across the BBC today and watch the highlights over the coming days.
