Honda's Dean Harrison, who finished second, speaking on BBC iPlayer:

"I knew from the start of the race it was going to be difficult to be honest.

"As soon as anyone passed me, I was straight back past them and I was constantly in the slipstream. You don't have a massive amount of speed advantage but there is a bit there.

"The middle of the corner I felt I had him [Richard Cooper] to be fair and then Michael tried to have a overdo me at Metropole in the last lap and I chopped in the inside and we had a bit of a coming together and then me and Richard had a bit of a bash. It's good for everyone to see.

"Not quite a win, but I'll take second in that race

"Battling around like that around here, there is nothing like it."

Supersport winner Richard Cooper: "We all got through the chicane in one piece in my eyes. More races should be four laps, there's no rest. I'm only a part-time racer, when I do turn up I give it my best.

"I just held on, there was no other option and I had to run straight. I managed to get out the other side and controlled myself, and it takes a brave man to pass someone at the last corner. I enjoy winning Supsersport races, but to do it in front of these fans is something special."

They were three wide at one point into Juniper and there was definitely a bit of contact.

Richard Cooper is properly pumped by that finish.

Richard Cooper wasn't going to give it up on the brakes was he?!

That was an all-time classic finish!

Harrison shoved it up the inside but Cooper hung in there. They both danced across the grass, and Dunlop couldn't get the pair of them.

That was mega, mega racing!

What a race! I have never seen anything like it.

Harrison and Cooper across the grass!

This sector is where Dean Harrison is at his best.

It's the final run to Metropole....Harrison gets Dunlop but the home rider cuts back inside!

Cooper still leads as we head towards Juniper!

Cooper flies past Dunlop into Mather's Cross! There's nothing between the three of them!

Cooper and Dunlop blast past Harrison towards University!

And Dunlop gets Cooper on the brakes with a late move!

Remember, Dean Harrison has never won at the North West 200.

Davey Todd is now five seconds back, so he's not in this but I don't know what the issue is.

This is going right to the wire!

Harrison tries to break away on the coast road but Cooper and Dunlop will reel him back in on the run to Coleraine.

Harrison into Juniper again!

He takes the lead onto the final lap but Cooper and Dunlop are less than half a second behind!

I've absolutely no idea who is going to win this with 8.9 miles to go!

Harrison challenges into Metropole but Cooper holds him off.

Todd has dropped well back but Michael Dunlop is back on the leading pair.

There's disappointment for Adam McLean, who drops out of the top 10 with a mechanical issue.

Cooper gets Harrison on the run to Coleraine as they continue to trade places.

Dunlop has got in front of Todd, but time is running out to catch the leading pair.

Harrison has pulled the pin and is trying to scamper up the road, but Cooper is going with him.

They've gapped Todd and Dunlop, but can they hit back?
