Cooper edges out McLean for Supertwins race win
Richard Cooper edged out Adam McLean on the final lap of four to take victory in Saturday's opening Supertwins race at the North West 200. It was a fifth Supertwins success at the event for the 42-year-old three-time British champion and the sixth North West victory of his career. The KMR Kawasaki rider was pushed all the way by Northern Ireland rider McLean, who was just two tenths of a second behind his Nottingham rival on a Flitwick Yamaha at the chequered flag. Sixty-one-year-old Jeremy McWilliams was third on a JMcC Aprilia to claim his 13th podium finish. McLean led the field across the line after lap one after Cooper went onto the grass as he entered the start-finish chicane, before Cooper assumed the lead by the end of the second circuit. McLean set the fastest lap of the race at 110.927mph to take over at the front next time but Cooper made his move on the dash to Metropole on lap four and held onto his advantage. Last year's double Supertwin rider Peter Hickman retired at the end of lap two while battling for a rostrum place.

Veteran star on why he still has what it takes to be in the mix at North West 200
Jeremy McWilliams (61) says age is no barrier to north coast wins Three-time North West 200 Supertwins race winner Jeremy McWilliams marked his 61st birthday in early April, but the former MotoGP rider has no notion of stepping away from the north coast road race while he remains competitive. McWilliams made his Irish road racing debut around the 8.9-mile course in 2012 and finished as the runner-up in the Supertwin race behind class specialist Ryan Farquhar, whose KMR Kawasaki team famously completed a clean sweep of the podium with Michael Rutter joining them on the rostrum in third.
