 European competitors with names already on the grid include 7 times Spanish National Champion Antonio Maeso who has entered all classes except new Supertwins race scheduled for Thursday 17th May. Andalusian star Maeso last competed at the North West in 2009 when he achieved a top 15 position. Based in the coastal resort of Almeria, Maeso has also been a TT regular.

Swiss ace Herve Gantner was set to make his rookie ride at the NW200 last year, however 2012 will see the TT competitor take part in both the Superstock and Superbike races as a member of Paul Shoesmith’s Ice Valley Team .

A familiar face at the North West is Italian racer Stefano Bonnetti who has secured a number of top 15 places at the NW200 during the past decade. The Milan based rider has submitted entries for both the Supersport and the Superstock classes.

Local star and winner of last year’s only race the Mckendry Fabrications Supersport, Alastair Seeley will join Tyco TAS Suzuki team mates Guy Martin and Conor Cummins on the NW200 grid. Lee ‘The General’ Johnston who took 9th place in the 2011 Supersport class will be competing in the Super sport, Superstock and Superbike races. The British Supersport 600cc Championship competitor from Maguiresbridge will once again be part of the East Coast Racing team and made his NW200 debut back in 2008.

Local stars signed up to date include Dungannon riders Ryan Farquhar and John Burrows both scheduled to compete in all 7 races.
