Alastair Seeley has confirmed that he will be competing for Gearlink Kawasaki in supersport races, at the 2016 North West 200.
The joint most successful rider around the Triangle with 15 wins, is looking forward to racing for the team which he competed for at the giant causeway based road race in 2013.
Back in 2013 Alastair propelled the Gearlink Kawasaki to a memorable victory in opening supersport race.
Having started in the second wave, he gradually on aggregate timing reeled in long time race leader Michael Dunlop, to eventually secure race win by over a second.

It’s still to be announced as to the machinery he will piloting in superstock and superbike races. It’s widely anticipated though that he will be joining forces with Lee Hardy Racing competing on high spec S1000RR BMW’s.
A three time winner of the North West 200 feature superbike race, Alastair Seeley has perhaps over the years not been given the credit he deserves for his momentous feats at the meeting which first began in 1929.
This year could see him become the most successful competitor in history around the Triangle. Could this stellar achievement be recorded in one of the supersport races? good possibility it could.
