At round six of the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship at Thruxton Circuit, Luke Mossey on the Teccare Profile Triumph had a solid weekend with a sixth and second place respectively in the two races.
Luke was looking strong all weekend but the torrential rain on Saturday for qualifying set Luke out of his comfort zone and he was only able to qualify in 20th place for the opening race at the very quick circuit. He got a flying start and made up several places on the opening lap and he was soon catching the front pack. He was riding hard and was able to set the fastest lap of the race for pole position for the main race on Sunday. He worked hard but the front bunch were just too far ahead for him to catch and he had to settle for sixth.
Starting from pole position on Sunday for the main Supersport race Luke was eager to get a strong result. He got a great start and was leading after the opening lap, he was then involved in one of the best races of the day for the next 18-laps. He ranged from first to fourth over the race and led for six laps, there were four different leaders throughout the race and Luke rode exceptionally well to finish a fantastic second place.
Luke Mossey - "I am really happy with the results that I managed to gain this weekend at Thruxton, it is a circuit I enjoy riding at and pleased with the outcome. I messed up in the wet qualifying and just wasn't able to settle down and good a good time in, this left me at a huge disadvantage for the Sprint race from 20th. It was a bit messy in the opening laps as I was riding with riders I am not used to riding with so it is hard to judge what moves they will make next. I got my head down and really want to try and catch the leading pack but they had gained a big gap and I had to settle for sixth. I managed to set the quickest lap and pole position and I was really fired up for race two, I got a mega start and was locked in one of the most exciting but most respectful races I've ever been in. We were changing positions on every lap and I knew I just had to keep my head down, defend and push hard. It was tough and a really good race to be involved in. I'm so pleased for the Teccare Profile Triumph team as they all worked so hard this weekend and I'm glad I can thank them for that with a podium. I can't wait to get to Oulton now and hope to carry on this form. Thank you to all my personal sponsors for their continued support."
