Ryan Farquhar is back at this week's North West 200 with team rider Richard Cooper
Ryan Farquhar says he has fallen out of love with road racing because of the 'bull**** politics' he has had to deal with in recent years, admitting he is close to walking away from the sport for good.
It took 18 months for Cooper to be reinstated as the double winner, with the appeal hearing only heard last November. "But from where the class first started...the 250s were dying off, and this was the perfect class. I was there from the start and developed the bike. There are two sides to racing. There is racing the bike, and there is preparing the bike. A lot of the classes now are just glorified road bikes and you can't do anything with them.
Farquhar has been one of the pioneers of the Supertwins class, which emerged following the demise of the 125 and 250ccs.
