125s. Can't help but notice that Taylor Mackenzie made a relatively slow start (now where did he inherit that from!!) but he's fighting his way up the field... definitely in the mould of his father.

Tim Hastings, who didn't have either a pole or a jumped start today, is also working his way up. Both these youngsters are stunning little riders... champions of tomorrow.

Lots of chopping and hopping here, and fair few falls, but Hoyle has a very secure lead (hope that doesn't jinx him!)
RE: 1st Superbike May Bank Holiday - thewitch - 05-05-2008
Hoyle, Behan, Costello... these are the first 3. The places have been changing constantly, except for the leader... way out front.
Hastings 7th and Mackenzie made a great swoop on the last lap to finish 12th.
Even watching this on live timing, with no picture, it was exciting. Probably the best race of the day, but not publicised.

Oh, Michael Wilcox was in the first 3 until the last lap or so, when the bike broke down.
