That's the chequered flag out in this session.

John McGuinness and Dominic Herbertson round out the top five with Peter Hickman, Carl Phillips, Ian Hutchinson, Mitch Rees and Paul Jordan the best of the rest.
Michael Dunlop was down in 25th, so he has work to do tomorrow.

Top job team. How important is qualifying going to be with the changeable conditions?
Trevor, Westgate-on-Sea
Hey Trevor, thanks for the question!
Very, is the short answer.
Qualifying positions for race day are taken across both sessions so even if today wasn't your day, you can still make amends tomorrow.
Things can change quickly on the north coast, but things are looking good for tomorrow so, in theory, the decisive laps should come then.
Today still matters though as riders have to reach a certain number of laps to officially qualify for racing, so getting them in the bank when the circuit is wet is doing no arm.

In tricky conditions, Stacey is leading the Superstock.
That is a big credit to him and the work he has put in.
Jeremy McWilliams reflects on his qualifying session so far.
The Glengormley rider was second fastest in the Supersport run on his CD Racing Kawasaki, recording an average lap speed of 110.054mph.

Aaaaand the rain is back around the start/finish.
That could stop anyone improving their times.

Loved seeing the Swedish rider being interviewed by Stephen and explaining about the pictures of his family and sponsors on his bike. Easy to recognise when flying past the house.
Alison, Portstewart
Best of luck to Mervyn and team, please say I big hello to everyone in ticket office worked there for many years. Sorry about the weather, I am sitting listening to you in sunny county Leitrim!
Sheena, Leitrim
Superstock qualifying
Welcome to the party, Storm Stacey.
He posts the fastest time to dip under the five-minute barrier ahead of Dean Harrison.
He's not here to mess around on his debut.
It was a case of 'easy as you go' during the first Superbike practice of the week at the North West 200.
Watch 11-time winner Glenn Irwin have a 'moment' during the session.

Superstock qualifying
As he was earlier on the Superbikes, Dean Harrison is fastest out of the traps in this session.
Expect the times to drop, and fast.

We talk about the power of a Superstock now, it is not far off a Superbike at all.

In these conditions, most riders would probably rather ride a Superstock with all the benefits of the electronics than a Superbike.
A Superstock is just a bit easier to ride and, in these conditions, I don't think there is an advantage on a Superbike.
Three young North West 200 fans picked up some early sweet treats in the paddock on Wednesday.

Jeremy McWilliams on BBC iPlayer:
"It was lovely to gel with the bike as quickly as that, with so little time on the bike, you are never sure what it is going to feel like when you get to the north coast.
"I actually am enjoying it.
"You can find the areas when you can push and when it is slippery, it is iffy conditions."
Tyre preparation and selection to accommodate conditions are a key component of performing well at the North West 200.

Over to you, Superstocks!
DAO Racing team owner Sommai Nantakoon on BBC iPlayer:
"I come every year and always support the NW200.
"I am not just a female team owner; I am the first Asian woman.
"I support the young riders; I like to help them. I like to watch them first and give them some support."

Still quite a lot of spray but nothing like it was. Dean is looking fast but smooth
