Alastair Seeley, the record holder for wins at the North West 200, will return🔥 to famous Triangle Circuit in 2025 with BMW machinery.

29-time winner Seeley missed last year’s edition of the event, but announced his plans for 2025 with the SMS/Nicholl Oils team𒁏 during the event launch for this year’s North West 200 o𓃲n 25 February

“I'm really excited and happy to be ba🅠ck on the north coast in May,” Seeley told BBC Spoওrt NI.

“It's aౠll down to the team. SMS/Nicholl Oils have given me the c♏hance on my old BMW so let's see if we can hit the ground running and start where we left off.”

Seeley added: “I said I would only come back if I had competiti♚ve b🌠ikes and the guys have given me basically my old bike.”

“Looking back 🐲over times and lap times, they haven't moved on very much so I feel like we'll still be competit💟ive.”

Seeley also indicated that he will coᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚntest an additional class, by saying “I've got seven bites of🐬 the cherry to have a go at it and hopefully we can get one of them at least.”

Seeley will race five times on the BMW M1🔴000 RR at this year’s North West 200, with three Superbike races and two Superstock races. That leaves two “bites of the cherry” from the seven he mentioned.

That implies that he will race eitᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚher the Supertwin or Supersport class, each of wh▨ich have two races on the schedule.

Having not raced the Supertwin class before, and being a 13-time winner in Supersport, the most likely scenario would appear to be a return to the Supersport class, also, for Seeley in 2025. However, at the time of writing, he has not announced any plans for the middlewܫeight class at the 2025 North West 200.
