British Superbike rider Storm Stacey is open to returning to Northern Ireland’s North West 200 after winning two races on his debut and gaining widespread attention, particularly for his high-speed duel with Michael Dunlop. Stacey said the event’s enthusiastic fans and commercial success made a lasting impression, but any return will depend on securing a sufficiently attractive deal without compromising his BSB career. He will next compete at Northern Ireland’s Classic Bike Festival on his TZ two-stroke motorcycle.

Graeme McDowell says he has had positive discussions about rejoining the DP World Tour next season as LIV Golf faces uncertainty following the end of Saudi financial backing. His fines with the DP World Tour are settled, and he expects further talks later in the year while remaining open to multiple competitive paths. McDowell acknowledges challenges facing LIV, including doubts over its team championship and the DP World Tour and PGA Tour forming an alliance with the Asian Tour. Despite limited major appearances since joining LIV, he says he has no regrets and is considering a future senior tour career as he approaches age 50.

Former racer Keith Amor reflects on the fear, thrill and lasting pull of the Isle of Man TT, describing the intense pre‑race pressure and the clarity that came once he started riding. Despite major crashes, he still misses competing and now works with TT organisers guiding VIP guests. Amor highlights his long friendship with Jonathan Rea, recalling how the World Superbike champion supported him both professionally and personally, from circuit walkthroughs to acting as his mechanic at Irish road races.
