An incident at the Briggs Equipment North West 200 has led to Thursday’s Superbike Qualifying session being halted.
Organisers announced a stoppage due to an ‘incident’ on the course, with a delay of 45 minutes planned.
That was later followed by an update from race control stating an additional one hour stoppage.
Thursday’s morning session had been held in ideal weather conditions on the north coast.
Honda Racing’s Dean Harrison set the fastest lap of the week to date at 123.12mph before the red flag incident.
Glenn Irwin (Nitrous Competitions Racing Ducati) was in second place, with Peter Hickman third fastest.
The North West 200 takes place on public roads around the ‘Triangle’ circuit between Portrush, Portstewart, and Coleraine.
The event is Northern Ireland’s largest outdoor sporting event, attracting massive crowds of well over 100,000 spectators annually to the Causeway Coast in May.
