Seeley: I hope to be back for more

Saturday’s brilliant double in the Superstock and Superbike classes saw him make history, as he saddled up with Dunlop’s record.
“I’d like to return to the North West next season with a competitive package to try rewrite the record books,” said the determined 35-year-old.
Asked what the secret to his success is and what his most memorable win was, he replied: “(The secret) is probably my knowledge and experience and also that I do my homework before I go.

Seeley admits his achievements only began to sink in on Sunday as he perused the newspapers, but now his focus is fixed on trying to win the British Superstock 1000 series.
