Shane Byrne sealed Bennetts British Superbike title glory with a comfortable ride into third place in a dramatic, incident packed opening race of the penultimate round at Silverstone.
The Airwaves Ducati rider had begun the race knowing that a top nine finish would suffice to see him regain the crown he had first held won back in 2003 and Byrne was running eighth as the first of two telling incidents unfolded into front of him.
Leon Haslam, the HM Plant Honda rider who had started with an outside chance of edging out Byrne in the title stakes, was sent tumbling at the chicane as Tom Sykes clattered into him, with the Rizla Suzuki later penalised for careless riding.
Then a further two laps on James Ellison and Michael Laverty tangled at the same Woodcote section and Byrne was upto third: “I thought to myself, good result. All of that happening put me up to third and I was in a position to think about going for the win.
“It was all about keeping it safe, keeping my concentration and not doing anything silly – I said to myself you’ve got a podium finish, you’ve got the title, stay as you are.”
Byrne did just that as his team-mate Leon Camier took his third victory of the campaign, ahead of HM Plant Honda rider Cal Crutchlow, prompting celebrations by the champion.
“Words can’t describe what this all means to me – it is bigger for me than the first time that I won the title. This repays the team for their faith in me and this has paid everything back and thanks my sponsors.
“This success is dedicated to my dad Pete who died a month before the season started – I hope that he is up there smiling down on me – he backed me so much.”
Byrne had hoped to celebrate his success with a ninth victory of the season, but Haslam, eager to set the record straight after his earlier demise set a furious pace at the head of the pack, romping to his fifth win in seven races by some four seconds.
“I felt confident and after the first race disappointment went for it – the lads just said to me get out front and clear of the rest, and I did,” explained Haslam who consolidated his second place in the overall rankings.
Byrne came in second and praised his rival: “Leon rode a fantastic race and although I got into second quickly he was a bit too far ahead even though I pushed hard, but I’m happy enough with another podium finish.”
Third place went to Rizla Suzuki rider Sykes who had overcome being demoted 12 places on the grid for his earlier indiscretion with a hard charging ride through the pack to finish ahead of Camier, Karl Harris, Ellison and Michael Rutter.
Glen Richards had to settle for fourth place in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport race but that was sufficient to give him the title. Hudson Kennaugh took the victory ahead of Paul Young and Steve Plater, while Craig Fitzpatrick with another class victory secured the Supersport Cup crown.
Jon Kirkham sealed the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup title with his eighth victory of the season and although the Derby rider also finished first in the Metzeler Superstock 1000 Championship race, the title was taken by second on the road Steve Brogan.
