Simon Andrews will be among the contenders at the NW 200

Leading BSB rider Simon Andrews will race in the Relentless North West 200 for the first time in May.

The Englishman will join his MSS Colchester Kawasaki team-mates Ryan Farquhar and Stephen Thompson and compete in the Superbike races.

Andrews finished sixth in the British Superbike standings last year.

"The NW 200 really excites me - I've watched it for many years and with guys such as Farquhar, McGuinness and Plater whom I really respect," said Andrews.

He added: "I also feel that I can now ride in this event with the right kind of approach which may not have been the case a few years ago.

"The NW200 is a challenge to rider, machine and tyres. I believe the circuit really tests handling and performance with differing surfaces, adverse cambers and corners from tight, hairpin bends to super-fast open corners and straights."
