Smith’s Triumph’s Billy McConnell has hailed his double Motorpoint British Supersport win at Oulton Park as ‘superb’ after a titanic scrap with Alastair Seeley in yesterday’s feature race.

Adelaide-born McConnell got stuck into a no-holds barred contest with Seeley and team-mate Graeme Gowand and it went all the way to the chequered flag.

It was Gowland who held sway in the early stages but on the fourth lap, McConnell hit the front for the first time before Seeley edged ahead as the race entered its final third. But with a superb move at Lodge corner, Billy wasn't to be denied the double

"What can I say, it's been a great weekend for myself and Smiths Triumph and a big thanks to the team, especially my crew chief Jason Jones and John Trigger. Together with the guys at K-Tech suspension and Tim Seed working his magic with the electronics, I've got a great package beneath me and everything's working really well,” said McConnell.

“The speed of the motor has come on in leaps and bounds and the hard work everyone is putting in is paying dividends. I was unaware Alastair and Graeme had crashed in Sunday's race so kept chipping away and was then able to ease off in the closing stages whilst the second was tough all the way to the end.

“We come for race wins so to have taken them both is superb. We're all pulling together and I've got a great feeling with the bike so a big thanks to the whole team for their effort and commitment."
