Gearlink Kawasaki’s Alastair Seeley has regained the lead in the Motorpoint British Supersport championship after he did the double and took home two first place rostrum finishes at Snetterton, and the wee wizard of Carrickfergus is happy that all his hard work has paid off, and that everything went right over the weekend.
Seeley was on form on a track he has been particularly strong at in previous years and all weekend he was showing fast form and ultra-quick lap times, convincingly setting a comfortable pole position.
He was on fine form in both of the races on Saturday and Sunday and led from the start of the shorter ten lap race on Saturday taking the win by 5.3 seconds. He was keen to repeat this on Sunday and despite not leading from the front by lap two he had taken the lead again winning from his team-mate, Ben Wilson by 3.7 seconds. Seeley found that testing at the circuit a few days before really helped in his preparations for the race weekend.
"I'm really pleased to have taken the double race win here and also regain the lead in the Championship. It's been a hard weekend with the conditions and heat here and we all had to work really hard to get the results we got. It was a huge benefit for us to come and do the test here and get a good set up before we arrived for the race weekend. I'd like to thank all the Gearlink Kawasaki team for all their hard work this weekend and I'm glad I was able to repay them with a double race win,” said Seeley.
“The first lap of the race was a little messy and we were all very bunched up, I just wanted to get my head down and try and make a break. I've always gone well here in the past and luckily I was able to do the same again, everything went right and I hope we can continue this form for the rest of the season."
