The 2024 North West 200 had a bit of everything: great weather, big crowds and most importantly, great racing to match. Here is the results from Saturday's races.

Supertwin Race 1:

Peter Hickman isn’t seen as a small bike rider, but in his recent history he has shown that he can win on practically anything competitive. This trend continued as he delivered a five star performance onboard the Swan Racing Yamaha R7 to beat Richard Cooper in the first race of the day.

Hickman stalked Cooper for the majority of the race and grabbed his chance to lead on the final lap and take his first Supertwin victory at the North West 200. Richard Cooper was second, with Ireland’s Mike Browne grabbing his first North West 200 podium onboard his Aprilia 660.

Superbike Race 2:

Much like the first race on Thursday, it was between Glenn Irwin and Davey Todd for top honours in the big bike class. It was a game of cat and mouse as the pair studied each other for the six laps and most importantly managed their rear tyres.

However, a grandstand finish was denied as back-markers interfered and didn’t give Todd the chance to overtake Irwin into the Juniper Hill chicane. Irwin took victory and made it ten Superbike wins in a row around the North West 200. Michael Dunlop finished in 3rd place onboard the Hawk Racing Honda.

Supersport Race 2:

Unlike Thursday’s race, Davey Todd managed to avoid any incidents on Lap 1 and set up a great battle with Richard Cooper. As the pace from practice suggested, Todd’s Ducati and Cooper’s Yamaha were equally matched, it was a great race between four riders, which included Michael Dunlop & Cooper’s teammate Mike Browne.

Todd ultimately made the decisive move on the final lap and was able to hold off Cooper by five tenths and a fast charging Michael Dunlop in third. Dunlop will now focus his attention on preparing his new 765cc Triumph for the Isle of Man TT races.

Superstock Race 2:

Davey Todd made it a quick fire double by winning the Superstock race, with Peter Hickman close behind in second. But the biggest cheer of the day was for John McGuinness, 30 years from his debut at the circuit - finishing 3rd place. His first podium at the North West 200 since 2012.

Michael Dunlop was not allowed to make the start of the Superstock race due to missing the Warm up lap. Dunlop was seen to be furious with the officials, just before the race started.

Dean Harrison was in the podium battle until his Honda Fireblade suffered a mechanical on Lap 4.

The big race of the day didn’t disappoint, Glenn Irwin made it eleven in a row in another epic battle with Davey Todd. But arguably ride of the day came from Dean Harrison in third, onboard his Honda Racing Superstock machine.

Todd & Irwin traded positions for much of the race and it once again came down to the final few corners, with Irwin holding on to make it a Superbike hat trick.
