Team Suzuki Press Office – September 25.
Buildbase Suzuki’s #lukestapleford narrowly missed out on a podium finish at #assen for round 10 of the #bennettsbritishsuperbikechampionship at the weekend but came away with a season’s best result of fourth after qualifying on the front row on his GSX-R1000.
Stapleford battled hard for second place in race one and held the position onto the last lap before being passed by Josh Brookes. The move forced him wide and cost him another position in the process, demoting him to fourth. The former British Supersport Champion tried to recover and claim a podium finish, missing out by 0.039s after a drag to the line.
He was again on the front row for race two and led into turn one. He was pushed back to second but retaliated to re-take the lead and held it for a number of laps. Embroiled in a battle for the podium for much of the race, he was unable to maintain the challenge to the finish but came away with a fifth.
