  2. Superstock race - restart (four laps)

    The bikes are back off on their sighting lap ahead of the four-lap restart.

  3. 'I don't really know what happened'

    Richard Cooper, who crashed out on the first lap, on BBC iPlayer: "I don't really know what happened. The bike was feeling good. I braked and I felt like I was going a bit fast. The back started to come around and over the top I went.

    "We'll call it a day for today but we'll come back and start again. I want to apologise to Paul Jordan, that was my fault at Mill Road (in the Supersport race). I felt comfortable all week but to come away without a result is quite hard."

  4. Race control have said there will be a four-lap restart when we get back under way.

  5. Superstock race

    There's going to be a 10-minute delay due to course repairs needed at University corner.

  7. Lap 2/6

    Brookes has a look into Metropole but pulls back in behind Harrison.

  8. Lap 2/6

    Brookes is right on the tail of Harrison at Mather's.

    Hutchinson is more than five seconds back.

  9. Lap 2/6

    That was a chaotic opening lap.

    Harrison and Brookes are out front, and both of these riders are looking for their first win.

  10. Lap 2/6

    Michael Dunlop is down at eighth after going straight on at one of the chicanes.

  11. End of lap one

    Dean Harrison and Josh Brookes have broken away from the pack, with Hutchinson a distant third and John McGuinness fourth.

    Harrison holds a 0.598 seconds lead.

    Stacey is down to 15th after his off.

  12. Lap 1/6

    Cooper slides off the road at University and Storm Stacey runs straight on.

    Cooper is on his feet and Stacey has continued.

  13. Lap 1/6

    Peter Hickman is away in the third wave after he had a poor qualifying. Watch out for him on aggregate time if he gets the hammer down.

  14. Go! Go! Go!

    Superstock race (six laps)

    Off we go for the fourth race of the day!

    Richard Cooper takes the lead and Storm Stacey is into second place.

  15. Superstock race (six laps)

    Lee Johnston
    Five-time winner on BBC iPlayer

    Seeing how lively he's been today, I think this is Richard Cooper's strongest chance for a win.

  16. Superstock race (six laps)

    We're about to get back under way.

    The three-minute board has just been raised.

  17. We're going to have a 10-minute delay due to a non-racing incident, say the organisers.

  18. Superstock race (six laps)

    Richard Petrie
    BBC Sport at the North West 200

    BMW has been the dominant force in the Superstock races at the North West in recent years so it will be interesting to see if they remain top of the pile today.

    The German manufacturer has secured doubles in each of the past three years - Alastair Seeley winning both Stock races in 2023, Davey Todd completing a double in 2024 and Todd and Michael Dunlop sharing the Superstock successes in 2025. Dunlop and Richard Cooper are among the riders who could extend that winning sequence in the upcoming six-lapper.

  19. Superstock race (six laps)

    The bikes are away on their sighting lap for the fourth race of the day.

  20. Superstock race (six laps)

    Next up we're going to have the Superstocks.

    It's scheduled to be another six lapper.
