Oulton BSB: Seeley snatches epic Supersport race

Gearlink Kawasaki's Alastair Seeley snatched a last lap, last corner Motorpoint British Supersport victory at Oulton Park this afternoon, getting the better of Scotsman Stuart Easton in a reverse of yesterday's sprint race.

Northern Irishmen, Seeley, to the holeshot only for reigning champion Glen Richards to take his first taste of leading a race in this 2013 season. The Australian wasn't able to hold on to the lead for long as Mar-Train Yamaha's Easton looked to take the double double, after winning both races at Thruxton. The former Superbike front-runner passed Seeley and then Richards before opening out a second advantage.

Appleyard Macadam's Deane Brown and Easton's Mar-Train team-mate Glenn Irwin both tucked the front at Lodge corner when pushing hard to keep with the leading pack. Seeley's ride was faultless though, getting the better of Richards at Island Bend before posting lap after lap at lap record pace, eventually closing in on Easton. The dicing duo began to pull away, opening out a seven second lead over the chasing pack.

The pair both took their turns at leading the race but in the end it came down to the last lap. Easton held the lead on the run down to Lodge, as he did yesterday, but Seeley moved for the inside instead of the outside, and it payed dividends as the wee wizard of Carrickfergus was able to win the drag to the flag.

Smiths of Gloucester Triumph's Billy McConnell sealed his second podium of the weekend in third, bettering his fellow Australians Jason O'Halloran and Glen Richards. Seton Yamaha's Graeme Gowland took sixth, with Gearlink's Ben Wilson storming through to commendable seventh from the back of the gird. Scott Smart was ninth ahead of Taylor Mackenzie and the cup winner, Jake Dixon.
