In the first race the top four were split by 1.4 seconds and in race two the top six were split by only 1.8 seconds. Alastair was locked in a battle with Easton in race one and the pairing pushed each other for the entire race with Easton winning by 0.08. It was an action-packed second 15-lap race on Sunday, Seeley took yet another win, this time from Billy McConnell.

“It’s been a really good weekend for myself and the Gearlink Kawasaki team,” said Seeley.

“Both races were really tough but two great battles. Today’s (Sunday) race was very fierce and action-packed and must have been great for the fans to watch. I really wanted to take the win and we were swapping paint work on most laps. It was hard, but brilliant to ride in. There was no contact made, but I’d imagine you couldn’t have fitted a bit of paper in between some of the passes. The bike was sliding everywhere, but I knew I could keep pushing.”
