Glenn Irwin became the most successful Superbike rider in the history of the North West 200 by taking victory in the first of Saturday's two races in the premier class.
The Northern Irishman's success saw him achieve his 10th Superbike success at the event and pull one clear of the tally achieved by Michael Rutter and the late Joey Dunlop. As was the case on Thursday, the Carrickfergus racer and Yorkshireman Todd were involved in a ding-dong battle throughout, Irwin eventually prevailing by 0.382 seconds at the chequered flag.
There was initially a three-way battle at the front as Jeremy McWilliams gave chase to the front duo but the 60-year-old was unable to keep up with the pace of his rivals.
