North West 200 2026 Roundup
The 2026 North West 200 was one of the most dramatic days in recent road racing history, and we couldn't be prouder to have had two of our sponsored riders, Storm Stacey and Dean Harrison, at the very heart of the action. Across six races on the famous 8.9-mile Triangle Course between Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine, both riders showed exactly why we back them. Before we get into the racing, we want to acknowledge the tragic loss of Czech rider Kamil Holan during Thursday's qualifying session. Our thoughts are with his family and all those who knew him.
Storm Stacey : A Debut Nobody Will Forget
If there was one story from the 2026 North West 200 that will be told for years to come, it's Storm Stacey's. The 23-year-old arrived at the Triangle as a newcomer and left it as a double race winner. Storm took victory in the Superstock race, making a decisive pass on Michael Dunlop on the final lap, before going on to win Superbike Race 2, ending Glenn Irwin's long-standing dominance in the premier class in the process.
To top it all off, he set a new lap record and collected the Robert Dunlop Award for Best Newcomer and Best Competitor. It was the kind of debut that only comes along once in a generation, and we're absolutely delighted to have Storm representing Spada when he did it.
Dean Harrison: Class on Every Corner
While Storm was stealing the headlines, Dean Harrison was doing what he always does, putting in relentless, world-class performances across every race he entered. Dean pushed Glenn Irwin to the absolute limit in Superbike Race 1, trading the lead multiple times before being edged out by just 0.181 seconds at the flag. He backed that up with a second place finish in the Supersport race and another podium in Superbike Race 2 behind Storm.
A North West 200 win has so far eluded Dean, but nobody who watched him this weekend could doubt that he belongs at the very top of road racing. We remain fully behind him, and we know that win is coming.
Two Riders, One Team Spirit
What made this weekend extra special for everyone at Spada was seeing both of our riders on the Superbike Race 2 podium together, Storm on the top step, Dean right beside him in second. That image sums up exactly what we're about. We sponsor riders we believe in, and this weekend both of them showed the road racing world exactly what they're made of.
We're immensely proud of both Storm and Dean, and everyone in the Spada team who supports them.
The attention now turns to the Isle of Man TT, where Dean Harrison will be looking to build on a brilliant NW200 and add to the two wins he took on the Mountain Course last year. We'll be right behind him every step of the way. Keep an eye on our social channels for updates throughout TT fortnight, and if you want to ride in the same gear our riders trust.
