LOWRY WINS @ KNOCKHILL - SUPERSPORT
Ian Lowry produced a near faultless performance at Knockhill in Fife, putting his K8 GSX-R600 Relentless by TAS Suzuki on the top step of the British Supersport podium.
Lowry moved to the front of the field as early as lap five and was never troubled throughout the race, which was red flagged after 22 of the scheduled 27 laps. Lowry also set the fastest lap of the race on lap 11. He remains third in the championship table on 120 points behind Glen Richards [157] and Hudson Kennaugh [127] with four rounds remaining.
Michael Laverty had a frustrating day in the Superbike class with only one points scoring finish to show for his front row qualifying position. Sixth place in race one was followed by an early retirement in race two after a wrong tyre choice prematurely ended his weekend in Scotland. Laverty's consolation was the Flying Haggis trophy for setting the fastest Superbike lap of the day. He occupies eighth place in the BSB Championship on 110 points.
Australian Cameron Donald made his Knockhill debut in the Superstock class, finishing today's race in eighth place. Donald now moves on to Dundrod for next week's Ulster Grand Prix in Northern Ireland.
