PREDICTION QUOTE

"From the raw power of the Superbikes to the screaming engines of the 125's on these tight B roads, I can't wait until this year's NW200. One less class with the 250's going but an even bigger change with a brand new chicane at Mathers Cross. The Supersport race has six, seven, or even eight riders, side-by-side, flying down the long straights. Predicted this lot will be a hard, hard task. "
