Alastair Seeley raced his Relentless Suzuki by TAS GSX-R600 to two hard-fought podium finishes at the Oulton Park British Supersport Championship second round on the Bank Holiday weekend.

After racing to second place in yesterday's 12-lap sprint, the 31-year-old Carrickfergus rider repeated the performance in today's equally-exciting 16-lapper aboard the all-new Supersport machine - setting the fastest lap in the process - and moving up to third position in the series after four races.

Alastair Seeley:

"I can't be too disappointed with that; especially as today was only our second race meeting on the new GSX-R600. I was strong for two-thirds then struggled a little, but when Kennedy came past, there was no way I was settling for third and I regained my composure. As I showed - by setting the fastest lap - I think I could've broken away if I'd been able to get some clear track, but it's going to be tight like that most weekends and 40 points is a good tally."

Philip Neill - Team Manager:

"Yesterday Alastair put in another fantastic performance to put the GSX-R600 on pole position and that was a boost for him. It's a tough Championship but we have a strategy in place which he needs to work to: basically take the wins when they are there and if not settle for solid points. He's comfortable on the harder tyre and in tomorrow's longer race that may well play into his hands.

"Today, Alastair showed his experience and proved it's all about taking points when that's all that is on offer. It's good to see him using his head in these races, because the GSX-R600 package can only get better and with his consistency he'll be hard to topple.
