More Afternoon Moto News - Aprilia and BSB & Alastair Seeley's NW200

Aprilia has also announced that they will be in the 2010 BSB Evo Championship. That makes it eight manufacturers participating in the series - a nice, large number of variety. The Splitlath Motorsport team will be campaigning their machines with riders (and brothers) Chris and Joe Burns. That makes some 32 riders on the BSB grid, with 12 of them competing in the new Evo series. (This may be a repeat post, but it is a new article.)

Alistair Seeley may not be able to race in the North West 200 Superbike class this year. We all know that long-time fan favorite Stuart Easton will be returning to the event, but leaving Seeley out of the premier race will make it less of a special event. For now, Seeley's team will be talking with the organizers of the event to see if they can get him into the proper classes at the 15 May 2010 event.

Chris Burns to Ride in BSB Superstock 1000 with Splitlath Motorsport

Burns has managed to get himself on board a Splitlath Motorsport prepared Aprilia RSV-4. He will compete within the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship, which runs in conjunction with the British Superbike Championship. Oh, and apparently, his younger brother Joe Burns will also compete on the team. (Sorry, linked article is a little hard to translate.)
