Relentless Suzuki by TAS Racing had a tough opening day at the British Superbike Championship first round at Brands Hatch as Josh Brookes suffered several minor problems in BSB Qualifying and Alastair Seeley crashed out in the first of the Easter weekend's two Supersport races challenging for the lead.

Josh Brookes:

"I'm disappointed with qualifying but I don't want to make excuses. In my opinion we're not just quite there yet and qualifying wasn't a good showing. We made a few changes and I've a fair idea what the problem was, but as I say, I'm not going to make any excuses.
