Shane Byrne rounded off his Bennetts British Superbike title winning campaign with a pair of victories in the final round at Brands Hatch.
The Airwaves Ducati rider, who had sealed the championship for the second time in five years in the penultimate round, romped to an easy success in the opening 30 lapper, finishing comfortable ahead of HM Plant Honda’s Cal Crutchlow.
“I made a great start then and that made things much easier. I got past Cal and decided to pull the pin and open up a sort of gap straightaway, but then he started to pull me back in so I went for it again, the gap went up and I took the victory,” explained Byrne.
The second race however was a different story with Leon Haslam, still in pain from a shoulder injury sustained in qualifying, making the running and leaving Byrne playing catch up, but the champion was equal to the challenge.
Moving through from fourth, he was second, though two seconds down, at half distance but then turned on the speed and style to reel in the leading HM Plant Honda, snatching the lead on the final lap as they carved through back-markers.
“Leon was riding hard and well, but I just went for it – I think that is the best I’ve ever had but I wanted to end on a winning note,” said a delighted Byrne who reflected on his day at the races.
“The championship was won before this round so I was able to go out there and put on a show. “I’d been careful for the previous four or five rounds because winning the title has been the bigger picture rather than winning races.
“The team put a lot of faith in me when they signed me and winning the title repaid that, and now I’m pleased to give them more successes.”
Byrne is graduating into World Superbikes next year, riding for the Sterilgarda Ducati team, and he reflected: “Winning is the perfect send off for me, my goodbye to the British series for the time being at least but it has been a really enjoyable season and this title means so much to me.”
Haslam, fourth in the opener, and then second to Byrne, finished the season as the overall runner-up, 474-357 down on the champion.
Crutchlow followed his second place in the opener with a fourth, adrift of Leon Camier, next time out to end the campaign in third place overall, 318-316 up on Rizla Suzuki rider Tom Sykes. After taking a sixth place, his season ended on a low, with a technical problem sidelining him in the closing stages.
Gary Mason, riding the Quay Garage Honda, headed Daily Star Cup Champion John Laverty home in the opener, but the Buildbase NW200 Ducati rider took the honours next time out.
Glenn Richards rounded off his Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship season with victory ahead of Steve Plater and series debutant Josh Brookes – the MAP Embassy Triumph rider, having taken his second title in as many years, having won the 2007 Superstock crown, confirmed that he will be moving into Superbike action next year.
Lee Johnston clinched the Metzeler National Superstock 600 title as he finished the penultimate round in third place adrift of race winner Jimmy Hill and Chris Northover, and then 24 hours later, Johnston celebrated his success with another third place in a race won by Robbie Brown from Matt Bilton.
Second best was just champion for Matthew Hoyle as he sealed the Relentless British 125GP title finishing the final round a couple of seconds down on race winner James Lodge.
Jon Kirkham completed a hat-trick of titles in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup as he won the final round, giving him the Autumn Cup to go with the Spring Cup and the overall title that he had already secured prior to this race.
