Drama unfolded at the start of the fourth round of the Metzeler National Superstock 1000 race at Donington Park as Jon Kirkham’s Raceways Yamaha was escorted from the grid at the end of the warm up lap.
Ben Wilson capitalised from the lights. With an empty grid slot ahead, the Boston based rider took advantage of the empty track to lead the 40-strong field into the first corner. However, his lead was shortlived as first Seeley (Team Rea Estates Racing Yamaha), then Marshall Neill (Marshall Neill Racing Suzuki) slipped past through successive corners. Neill subsequently took the long outside line round Seeley into the final corner to snatch an early lead as the riders headed towards the culmination of lap 2.
Steve Brogan put his Honda UK Racing CBR1000RR into the mix, while Jimmy Storrar closed onto the back of Wilson to make it five at the front. Adrian Coates, high on confidence after a double podium in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup, tagged onto the heels of the leading group the following lap and looked like he may become the main challenger for the win.
An exciting second half to the race unfolded as Brogan took the lead passing both Neill and Seeley on the inside at Melbourne on lap 6. The Liverpudlian rider held a slender lead until lap 9 when Marshall Neill capitalised on a Seeley error to head the pack.
Brogan waved his hand signaling rain as the riders crossed the finish line to start lap 10. However, the race continued with Coates forcing his Dyer Crossgills Racing Yamaha under Brogan into McLeans. Brogan instantly fought back, winning the battle of the late brakers on the run into the Foggy Esses, retaking second place. As the riders started lap 11, the falling rain deemed conditions unsafe for riders to continue and the red flag brought about a premature end to proceedings.
Marshall Neill did not look too perturbed. Bringing positions back one lap would give the Irishman his first Superstock victory and second in the championship. Adrian Coates finished third claiming his third podium of the day. Steve Brogan maintains his championship lead as the riders take a well earned two weekend break before round five at Snetterton (13-15 June).
Steve Brogan, Honda (UK) Racing:
“It’s been absolutely awsome out here. I’d like to thank the whole of the Honda team, they’ve just done an awesome job for me today. My Metzeler tyres have been hooking up real good out there and I couldn’t fault the bike. It’s a great start to the season.”
