Dan Linfoot leads the Supersport field after free practice sessions today
02-05-2009
Dan and the Rob Mac Racing team, end day one fastest in the 2nd round of the BSB British Supersport Championship at Oulton Park today. In the first free practice session this morning Dan finished 5th and was settling back into the bike after the break since Brands Hatch. However, this afternoon Dan focused on his times and was fastest for the day with a 1m 40.1s lap. Billy McConnell was 2nd, Chris Martin 3rd and Steve Plater 4th all within a 0.5s window.
The two qualifying sessions are tomorrow (Sunday) at 13.05 and 16.40 and there is no doubt that the times will be in the 1m 39s weather permitting. Dan feels that this is within his and the team's, capabilities and so is looking forward to the challenge.
The race is on Monday at 14.40 and will be shown live on Eurosport 2.
