Victorias para Seeley y McWilliams en la North West 200



Por Alfonso Somoza

Alastair Seeley fue el gran triunfador ayer en la North West 200 al ganar las carreras de Supersport y Superstock en un día en que el veterano Jeremy McWilliams hizo lo propio en la categoría Supertwin a los 49 años de edad.
La primera carrera del día, la de Supersport, arrancaba con el asfalto muy mojado por culpa de las lluvia caídas a lo largo de la mañana. Michael Dunlop, que salía con la pole, se colocaba primero en la chicane de Mathers Cross, y poco a poco fue abriendo hueco sobre el grupo perseguidor formado por Guy Martin, Bruce Anstey y John McGuinness.

Alastair Seeeley, que salía en el segundo grupo de pilotos, protagonizó una remontada espectacular, y no tardó en engancharse al grupo de cabeza, un esfuerzo que finalmente le valió para ganar la carrera con 1,3 segundos de ventaja sobre Michael Dunlop, muy decepcionado por no lograr la victoria.

En la siguiente carrera, Supertwin, los pilotos optaron por salir con neumáticos de lluvia al haber muchas zonas del circuito con bastante agua acumulada, a pesar de que ya empezaban a verse partes secas. Jeremy McWilliams y William Davison no tardaron en marcharse, protagonizando un bonito duelo con varios adelantamientos casi al límite.

En la segunda vuelta, Davison se iba al suelo en Black Hill al perder la goma delantera, sin consecuencias físicas importantes. Eso permitió a McWilliamas encabezar la carrera en solitario, si bien James Hiller y Jamie Hamilton le seguían a menos de dos segundos. A pesar de esta presión, McWilliams ganaba la carrera Supertwin en su segunda participación en la North West 200.

La última carrera del jueves, la de Superstock, se desarrolló con la pista prácticamente seca, por lo que muchos pilotos optaron por correr con slicks a pesar de los parches de agua que había en algunas zonas. Alastair Seeley y Bruce Anstey protagonizaron una bonita pelea en la parte final de la carrera, con victoria final para Seeley, que sumaba su segundo triunfo del día.

El único piloto español presente en esta edición de la North West 200, Antonio Maeso, se quedó sin gasolina en la última vuelta de la carrera de Superstock cuando luchaba por entrar en el top 10, relegándole a la 20ª posición final. Una verdadera lástima después de todo el esfuerzo de Maeso para llegar a esta carrera con opciones de hacer un buen papel.

La acción regresa a la North West 200 este sábado con la segunda carrera de las categoríasSupersport, Superstock y Supertwin, además de las dos carreras de Superbikes.
