An impressive contingent of newcomers and overseas competitors adds further depth to a quality line-up at the Briggs Equipment North West 200 and underpins the international appeal of the famous motorcycle race.

Spearheading the newcomers list this year is former British Junior Superstock race winner Kevin Keyes from Edenderry in Offaly, who made a big impression on his Irish road racing debut at Walderstown in Co Westmeath in 2022, winning both Senior Support races.
