Tom up to Second in Title Race

26 August 2008

Rizla Suzuki's Tom Sykes took two well-earned second places in today’s ninth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire to move up to second overall in the title chase while his team mate Atsushi Watanabe took a ninth and followed it with a season best seventh. Tom led for two-thirds of the opening race and posted the fastest lap before being out-braked at the end of the straight on lap 10 as he took a tear-off from his visor. He remained in contention for the win right until the end but was just beaten to the chequered flag at the 2.18-mile picturesque track by Honda’s Leon Haslam. Atsu started from eighth on the grid and impressed to record ninth in warm sunshine.
