FIFTH FOR LAVERTY AT SUN KISSED MALLORY
Stobart Motorsport rider Michael Laverty emerged with a best finish of fifth position following on round six of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship held at Mallory Park in Leicestershire today.
Riding the VK and Vent Axia backed Honda Fireblade, the 24 year old Ulsterman celebrated his impending birthday in fine style by following up his fifth position in the opening race with a strong result in race two to claim seventh after the two hectic 28 lap races around the revised Mallory circuit.
Team mate Michael Rutter, racing at his local circuit whereby he took a double last year, recorded a pair of sixth place finishes after a strong performance in the opening stages of each race but sadly he faded back as each race progressed and now lies in seventh position in the Championship.
