The Superstock races have been blown wide open at the Briggs Equipment North West 200 by the likely absence of Ulsterman Alastair Seeley in 2024.

The 44-year-old has won the previous four races in the class at his favourite event – 10 in total – chalking up a double on the IFS Yamaha R1 in 2022 and clinching another brace in 2023 on the SYNETIQ BMW for Northern Ireland’s TAS Racing team.
