A very cold weekend saw some great racing in all classes producing some very happy Irishmen as both the Laverty brothers took podiums, older brother John brought his Buildbase Kawasaki home in 3rd place in race 1 while younger brother Michael took his Relentless Suzuki to the top step in race 2.

Oulton Park is a very technical circuit and often treats those not entirely comfortable on their bike, or just plain careless with lines, with little mercy. Kagayama had a serious tumble seeing him compress vertebrae which caused some concern although he is going to be racing at Cadwell, while Jason O'Halloran came off his Oxford TAG Triumph Supersport machine at Cascades and broke his shoulder.
The weather deteriorated on race day with some rain although never enough to really give a set of full wets a proper work out, which scrambled the timetable and caused a shuffle of the form book because the teams had no real wet setup to fall back on.
The next round is at Cadwell Park on the 24rd of May, be there or be square. (see less)
