One step closer to the podium at Cadwell

Ian Lowry moved a step closer to the podium at Cadwell Park with an impressive fourth place in the opening race of the day for the Relentless Suzuki by TAS team in his rookie season.

A slight clutch problem saw him drop through the field in the opening turns in race one, but after making a number of hard moves he was back into a potential podium position. A race-long battle with Stuart Easton and James Ellison ended with a fourth place finish, giving the Moira racer his best finish of the season.

In race two, he again suffered with a niggly clutch problem off the line, getting swallowed up by the field. He then made a concerted effort to push through the pack but unfortunately crashed out with just two laps to go.

Lowry said:
"We are now so, so close to running at the front on a regular basis and even though we had an issue with our starts at Cadwell Park, I would have to say it probably cost me a podium. No ones fault; just one of those little problems that we can iron out, but hats off to the team, they gave me a great bike with a very strong engine low down for those tight turns at Cadwell Park. I didn't want to make a Kamikaze move in race one, but without sounding cocky there were places that Ellison and Easton were holding me up."

"In race two I got stuck behind Chris Walker and a load of other guys, which was so frustrating as the race pace was so much slower than race one. I could have been right up there. The last three circuits of the year are some of my strongest, so if we can keep moving forward, I know I can do the business and get that podium we all deserve."
