Results from the Saturday race day at the 2026 North West 200 after the first three races: Supertwin Race 1, Superbike Race 1, and the Supersport race.
Michael Dunlop won the only Supersport race scheduled for Saturday, beating Dean Harrison after a red flag at the end of lap five. Results were based on the finishing order at the end of lap four.
Josh Brookes completed the podium, ahead of Alastair Seeley. The top-10 was rounded out by Carl Phillips, Mitch Rees, Mike Browne, Dominic Herbertson, Pierre-Yves Bian, and Michael Evans.
Notable names not classified were Richard Cooper, Paul Jordan, and Ian Hutchinson.
Hutchinson was ruled out when he brought out the red flag on the initial start on lap two; he would line up for the first Superstock start before that race, too, was red flagged.

Glenn Irwin took his 12th North West 200 Superbike victory in Race 1 at the 2026 edition, beating Dean Harrison after the two distances themselves from the field.
Storm Stacey was on Harrison’s tail to begin with but he dropped back on lap three seemingly with a bike issue, ultimately finishing seventh.

At the front, Harrison was able to make several passes on Irwin for the lead, including twice at University. On those two occasions, Irwin squared him off and immediately re-passed on the run over the link road.
Harrison’s other pass came at the Juniper Chicane on lap four, but Irwin regained the lead before the end of lap five on the run to Mather’s Chicane.
A small gap opened between the two leaders on the final lap and although Harrison was able to get back to Irwin’s rear tyre by the end of the last lap he could not make a move for the lead.
Four riders battled for the final podium spot behind, Michael Dunlop eventually beating Peter Hickman to that third spot. Josh Brookes was also in that battle despite running wide at York with Ian Hutchinson on lap five, the Team RST BMW rider ultimately finishing five seconds behind the third place battle but almost 20 seconds ahead of Stacey.
Behind Stacey, John McGuinness, Mike Browne, and Michael Sweeney completed the top-10.
