Alastair Seeley is set to make his debut in the Supertwin class at this year’s North West 200.

Seeley will ride a Binch Pro Racing by 3b Construction Aprilia RS 660 in the Supertwin class. He is also lined up to ride a Ducati Panigale V2 in the Supersport class for the same team.

In the Supersport class, Seeley has taken 13 of his 29 wins at the North West 200 road races, but the Supertwin class will be all new to him this year.

“I’ve never ridden a Supertwin machine before so it will be something new,” 29-time Seeley.

“Maybe I can try to knock out some wins in the smaller [capacity] classes rather than searching for wins in the bigger bike classes where all the big hitters who are regularly competing in BSB are.

“The Supertwin class is a fiercely competitive class and I know that Richard Cooper will be having a good go again and with riders like Paul Jordan, Peter Hickman, Adam McLean and Jeremy McWilliams in the class, there will be plenty of competition.”

North West 200 event director Mervyn Whyte is optimistic of Seeley’s chances on the Aprilia.

“Alastair [Seeley] and the team have a real chance of making history at the 2026 Briggs Equipment North West 200,” said Whyte.

“It won’t be easy but Alastair will have plenty of home support behind him and if he can achieve that 30th win it will be an incredible achievement.”

The 2026 North West 200 will take place on 6–9 March.
