Richard 💧Cooper faces a difficult task to add to his North West 200 tally due to aꦆmended rules.

Cooper is aiming for a sixth wi꧅🔯n at the road racing event which will be held May 7-10.

He prepared by winning a fou🅷r-timer at the Ulster Superbike Championship opener this weekend.

But he is wary of  ൲classes at ꦉthe North West 200.

Supersport will now use a British 𒁃Superbike Championship pa𝓰rts list.

Cooper told the : “We come to win races, however the rul🧜es have changed quite dramatical༺ly over the past year or so with the Supersport and next generation bikes that are allowed into the class.

“T🃏he R6 is becoming dated and we have to do the best we can with what we’ve got – same in the Supertwin class now, the rules have change𝓡d again.

“I’m very happy with the machines we have, albeit we’re on the old♓er machines 🐼in the class now.

“We’re goi🍃ng to have to pull something out of the bag and the teams are working hard, as all the teams do, but I’m pretty confident with the experience I have of the two teams and the continuity that I carry on with these guys; if you listen to some of the guys they’re on new packages with new teams and they’ve got to gel with 🐼those packages.

“I𝓡 know that we can roll out onto that Coast road in practice and be ready to🌸 go.”

Cooper will be re🅺presenting th  BPE by Russell Racing Yamaha team in the Supersport class.

“The Russeꦉll Racing Yamaha R6 is built around me,” he praised.

He will ride a Kawasaki in the Supertwin.
