With just 68 days to go till competition begins on the Triangle course, it’s fair to say positive vibes and some are surrounding the North West 200.
The prospect of more notable rider/team, sponsorship based announcements in the near future, is certain to add additional excitement ahead of this May’s hugely anticipated action.
