The three racers in the battle are essentially side by side as Cooper slips inside Davey Todd and into second.

It is properly raining now. Hillier still leads but, hang on, the other racers can see him all of a sudden.

He still leads but it's nowhere near as big as it once was. Harrison has slipped back as Todd and Cooper continue the scrap for second.

Hillier takes the win - his first at the North West 200!

Cooper grabs second, just inching past Davey Todd who has to settle for third.
