Dan holds on to series lead

Dan Kneen from Braddan set a blistering pace in the British Superbikes Supersport cup at Thruxton at the weekend.

The 22-year-old plumber took first place in the Cup and eleventh place overall in the supersport race, with a fastest lap of one minute, 17.666 seconds on his Marks Bloom Yamaha.

Dan finished one place ahead of TT star Guy Martin and his performance ensured he maintained his lead in the series, four points ahead of nearest rival David Jones.

In the superstock class, Ramsey Rocket Conor Cummins finished in fourth place in the fourth race in the series.

It leaves him in third place overall, but with a big gap to make up to second placed Howie Mainwaring.
