THIRD PODIUM ON THE TROT FOR THE TEAM WITH A WIN FOR PAT McDOUGALL

We awoke to another glorious sunny day with high expectations for some good race results. Tom had qualified the previous day in 9th position only 0.2 of a second off the supersport lap record for the 16 lap race.
He got a good start and was in 6th place on the opening lap, the pace was as hot as the weather and by lap 13 Tom was fighting with Glen Richards for 7th position.
Unfortunately on the next lap Tom lost control of his R6 and crashed heavily at Park corner, luckily he walked away unhurt but his machine suffered extensive damage and that was the end of Tom's race.
This now leaves Tom in 7th position in the Championship, still only one point behind Ben Wilson who also crashed early on in the race. Pat had a good qualifying day yesterday and was starting from 2nd position in his championship and 19th place overall.
As the starting lights went out he had an excellent run up to the first corner and was up to 1st place and 16th overall after the first lap.

Pat was pushed hard by Hunt, Cringle and Dan Kneen for the entire race but managed to control the pressure with very consistent lap times all in the 1 minute 32 second bracket for all of the 16 laps.Pat crossed the finishing line in 1st place and 15th overall, 1.1 seconds in front of Max Hunt.
This great result gives Pat back to back wins following his success at the previous round at Oulton Park and puts Pat in a very strong position only 2 points behind the current series leader Dan Kneen, leaving him in joint 2nd place with Mark Cringle.



We now have a 5 week break to the next BSB round at Mallory Park our 5th round of the 12 event championship on the weekend of
the 27th June.
Roll on Mallory and hopefully some more silverware.
