The former two times winner of the title came under pressure from title rival Brookes in both races but he held off the Australian Tyco Suzuki rider to give the team their first double win since returning to the championship. Byrne was quick to praise the efforts of his team for their work on his bike: “These wins are down to real hard work by my team. The big thing is that they got to the bottom of some of the problems we had been having earlier on in the season and now we are getting the punch out of the corners and that is so important. “I was riding as hard as I could all of the way Josh kept me honest out there. It was a case of being as precise and careful as possible especially in the second race when Josh came at me on the outside at Paddock but I held him off. “Then I had a bit of a wobble at Surtees, then missed a gear in the closing stages and I though they were going to do me, but I held on,” added Byrne who has now moved into second place in the overall standings eleven points down on Swan Yamaha’s Hill who finished both races in third place. Brookes took a double seond place but the Tyco Suzuki riding Aussie said: “There were a couple of times when I wasn’t really thinking about anything else other than a pass on Shakey. I forgot who was behind me and I knew the only way to get passed was with a forceful move as he wasn’t making any mistakes. I tried around the outside at Paddock Hill Bend and then I think we even made contact at Druids but he just had that little bit extra on me today.” For more information please visit www.britishsuperbike.com
