P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Alastair Seeley is set to compete in the North West 200 Supertwin class for the first time this year.
Alastair Seeley, a 29-time North West 200 race winner, will debut in the Supertwin class at the 2026 North West 200.
Seeley, known for his success in other classes like Supersport, Superstock, and Superbike, will ride an Aprilia RS 660 for Binch Pro Racing by 3b Construction.
While Seeley acknowledges the challenges of the Supertwin class, he sees it as an opportunity to excel against tough competition like Richard Cooper, Paul Jordan, and Peter Hickman.
Seeley believes that the lower power output of the Supertwin bike will suit him better physically as he is no longer a full-time racer.
Mervyn Whyte, the event director, is optimistic about Seeley’s chances of achieving success in the 2026 North West 200 and making history with a potential 30th win.
