First Podium For Compton

22 May 2007

Dijon Compton secured his first podium of the 2007 season this weekend at Snetterton Circuit, Norfolk, in the Metzeler National Superstock Cup Championships. The 28-year-old from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire stood in third position on the podium, his first rostrum visit since racing in the British Superbike Cup in 2004. Compton who started from 11th on the grid had a great race moving his way confidently through the field and bringing the Astro Kawasaki home in a stunning third place. From the third row the Yorkshireman gained a fantastic start and was up to sixth after the first lap and fourth after the second lap, after passing Dean Johnson and Tom Clegg. Lap four saw Compton move up to third past Jonathan Howarth and hold his position for the remainder of the 14-lap race.
