Alastair Seeley raced his Relentless Suzuki by TAS GSX-R600 to fifth and fourth places at the third round of the British Supersport Championship at Croft and holds third in the series after six races.

After qualifying third for Saturday's shortened red-flagged race, he finished fifth and in today's second leg, the Ulsterman shot through from row two, taking the holeshot and eventually crossing the line in fourth position.

Alastair Seeley:

"That's two solid results for me from the weekend at Croft and the important thing is, I'm fit and healthy going into Tuesday night's first practice session at the North West 200. I'm never happy to be off the podium at any circuit, but we're still developing a new bike and there will be more to come from the GSX-R600. We all know what we need, so all I can do is keep twisting that throttle and giving it my best shot."

Philip Neill - Team Manager:

"Alastair got mugged at the end of that shortened Supersport race on Saturday, but we have to be mindful that we are still developing the new GSX-R600 and the Championship will not be won or lost at Croft. He's still third in the table and with some set-up changes in the morning, I'm sure we can find that little bit of extra grip to have him challenging at the front in race two.

"He did the best he could this weekend and once he gets the NW200 out of the way, those other boys will not get it just so easy."

The next round of the British Superbike Championship takes place at Thruxton on 28-30 May.
