Glenn Irwin and Davey Todd are the star turns at one of the most memorable North West 200 international road races for many years.
Thrilling, close high speed racing, record-breaking exploits, massive crowds and unbroken sunshine all combined to make this year's North West 200 one of the most memorable for many years.
Riding for the PBM Ducati team, Irwin was pushed hard all the way in all three exhilarating big bike races, having to dip deep on each occasion to see off the challenge of charging Yorkshireman Davey Todd, who also helped himself to a treble at the sun-kissed nine-mile circuit on the north coast. His performances on the track have been matched in recent years by his trademark exuberant post-race celebrations and that was again the case this year as he ran to savour the moment with fans in the packed grandstands around the start and finish area after crossing the line.
Fairly riding the crest of a wave at present, he currently leads that championship after three wins at the last round at Oulton Park and will be back in action at Donington next weekend.Having previously won three North West Supersport races, Todd further established his reputation as the rising star of road racing by clinching a further victory in that class, but also securing a double in the Superstock category and three runner-up positions in the feature events.
The fact that Todd seems very at home with his Milwaukee BMW by TAS Racing team and with his stable of BMW and Duacti mounts make him a major threat for Manx honours which have been the preserve of that decorated trio in recent times. McGuinness's third in Superstock race two metaphorically 'brought the house down' at the Triangle while McWilliams proved he could still cut it with his much younger opponents.
