Alastair, who is the current National Superstock champion, is only eight points away from being in the Title Fighters top six, Alastair being in eighth place.
The team manager for Relentless by TAS, Philip Neil stated that he was pleased enough with the weekend’s results and that it was nice to be in the BSB paddock again. When commenting on the recent string of third place finishes, two at the TT and an additional two at Mallory Park, he said that he was pretty content with a couple of more podium finishes, the fourth and fifth in a row for Michael, and that it was good for the championship, but he knew that they had the capability to win races.
