Swan Yamaha's Tommy Hill had said there would have been no excuses for not winning at least one British Superbike race at Knockhill after being fastest in almost all sessions and setting the fastest competitive lap of the weekend.

Hill was afraid the meeting was going to turn into another lottery of weather conditions which have scuppered him recently and, even though it did do a lot of raining, both races were declared dry and he took two clear wins to boost his championship points.

"What a good Father's Day present for my dad today! It has been a hard few rounds and we have been on the pace and then it just hasn't come together in the race. I thought it could have been a lottery again here this weekend with the weather but we have been lucky it was dry so there were no excuses this weekend," said Hiill.

"I thought if we could get into the front and get into a rhythm then we could be there and I couldn't believe it when I crossed the line in the first one. In the second race to win again was unbelievable and I have to thank the Swan Yamaha team for their hard work to get us up there. It has been fantastic to get the clean sweep of pole, fastest lap and two race wins this weekend.

"We knew we could push but it is just great for our championship; more points and more podium credits was what we needed and that is what we got and that will prove so important later in the season ahead of the Showdown."
