Race results from the three Thursday races at Northern Ireland's biggest motorcycle road race, the North West 200.

Superstock Race 1

Michael Dunlop took victory in Superstock Race 1 at the North West 200, beating Dean Harrison after Davey Todd overshot University.

Todd led the opening two laps, but he ran on at University on the penultimate lap. Dunlop, who started fourth, had made his way up to second by then and was on Todd's inside when he made the mistake - allowing him to take the lead.

Dunlop had Harrison for company in the final two laps, but a 4:19 on lap four was enough to increase his lead to almost three seconds by the chequered flag.

Ian Hutchinson was up to second in the early stages of the race, but although he lost positions as the race drew on he stayed in contention and was able to take advantage of the mistakes of Todd, and also Peter Hickman who ran on at Magherabuoy on the opening lap.

Todd finished fourth after his mistake, and Hickman recovered to fifth.

Josh Brookes was pressuring Hickman for much of the race but ran wide at Metropole on the final lap, finishing sixth in the end.

Conor Cummins, Michael Evans, John McGuinness, and Paul Jordan rounded out the top-10.

Alistair Seeley, who qualified second-fastest, did not start the race after a technical problem with his bike in the earlier Superbike race.

Supersport Race 1

Michael Dunlop was victorious in Supersport Race 1 at the 2025 North West 200, a sixth win for the Ballymoney rider at the famous Triangle circuit and a first since 2016.

Richard Cooper looked the man to beat for much of the race, his Russell Racing Yamaha proving exceptionally potent in a straight line, but he lost out to Dunlop on the final lap.

Davey Todd completed the podium finishers, having been Cooper's strongest contender for most of the four laps.

Dean Harrison was in podium position until Dunlop's late charge, but just missed out in the end in fourth. Peter Hickman rounded out the top-five to make it four different manufacturers in the first five positions.

Jamie Coward was in the front group early on but dropped back on lap two, finishing sixth in the end just behind Hickman, and eight seconds ahead of Mike Browne on the second Russell Racing Yamaha.

Adam McLean, Alastair Seeley, and Paul Jordan completed the top-10.

Superbike Race 1

Davey Todd took victory in the opening Superbike race at the 2025 North West 200, leading from lights to flag.

It was not a straightforward race, though, for Todd, who had Dean Harrison applying pressure throughout. Harrison looked to have the pace to pass Todd, but ran into stability issues when pulling out of the slipstream.

Peter Hickman had been over two seconds behind Harrison at the end of the second lap, but was within half-a-second by the beginning of the final tour. He was ultimately unable to make a pass, but held on to third place ahead of Michael Dunlop .

Dunlop took fourth ahead of Ian Hutchinson, who beat Jamie Coward to fifth place.

Erno Kostamo, John McGuinness, Conor Cummins, and Paul Jordan completed the top-10.

Alastair Seeley didn't finish the race. One rider's bike expired at the Millroad Roundabout on the opening lap, and it appeared to be Seeley's BMW.
