From the riders to watch to how to follow the action, BBC Sport NI takes a look at the North West 200 road races ahead of the 2024 event.
It's that time of year again when the engines fire up and some of the best motorcycle riders in the world hit Northern Ireland's north coast.
The 'Triangle Circuit' is 8.9 miles long and riders can lap the course in around four minutes as they navigate sweeping country lanes, chicanes, roundabouts and flowing seaside roads. Superstock machines are the nearest to the motorcycles you can buy in the showroom, with a few modifications permitted for racing. Regulations allow for 850cc to 1000cc three or four cylinder four-strokes and 955cc to 1200cc two-cylinder four-strokes.races have been some of the most keenly-fought over recent years, with the 600cc machines producing some superb racing around the Triangle circuit.
"It would mean a lot . It's something I think about quite a lot. There's a lot of track action to come before then, but I'd be quite disappointed if I didn't win all three, to be honest.""I'm feeling in a really good place and my team are doing a fantastic job," said Todd, who will also ride a Ducati in the Supersport class.
“My Supertwin bike is very competitive, and I know the Supersport class is very competitive, so I am under no illusion that it is going to be difficult, but I want to win.”Lee Johnston will miss the event through injury but will be part of BBC Sport NI's punditry team
