Alastair Seeley links up with Quattro Plant Bournemouth Kawasaki for North West 200

Record race winner Alastair Seeley has teamed up with Quattro Plant Bournemouth Kawasaki for next year's fonaCAB & Nicholl Oils North West 200.

The massive road racing extravaganza will return to the north coast from May 10-16.

It was confirmed earlier this week that Glenn Irwin will compete at the event with Honda Racing .

And now it has been announced that 24-times winner Seeley will race for Pete Extance's team.

The Quattro Plant Bournemouth Kawasaki team enjoyed a very successful North West 200 earlier this year, with Irwin and James Hillier winning the Superbike and Superstock races in May.

“I’m really pleased to be joining forces with the Quattro Plant Bournemouth Kawasaki team for the 2020 North West 200.” Seeley said.

“I’ll be jumping on machinery that won races at this year’s event so I know Pete and his team do a good job. I’m also excited to be riding a Kawasaki Supersport bike again as the last time I did I took the record number of wins at the Triangle circuit.

"I'm looking forward to gelling with a new crew chief and team and getting plenty of track time on the bikes prior to the May event."

Team boss Extance added: "I am really pleased to welcome Alastair Seeley to the Bournemouth Kawasaki squad for the 2020 International North West 200 with Quattro Plant as our title sponsor.

“The Quattro Plant squad was outstanding at the 2019 event with both Superbike and Superstock 1000 wins and for 2020 we want to continue as the team to beat.

"I see no better way of doing that than by having Alastair on board. The record breaking 24-time winner of the North West 200 will be riding in all three classes for the team Superbike, Supersport and Superstock and we will be looking to retain our winning ways at this amazing event around the 8.9-mile circuit at Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine."

NW200 Event Director Mervyn Whyte said: “It is fantastic for the fonaCAB & Nicholl Oils North West 200 to have the support of Pete Extance’s squad, one of the leading teams on the roads and in the BSB series.”

Meanwhile, the North West 200 has announced a new three year title sponsor partnership with fonaCAB and Nicholl Oils which will run from 2020 until 2022.

The two Northern Ireland companies were the principal sponsors of this year’s races that saw the north coast event celebrate its 90th anniversary.

The 2020 races, which will be held on May 10-16, will be known as the fonaCAB & Nicholl Oils North West 200.
