Kiyo Takes Race Three at Snetterton

bsbk_kiyoHM Plant Honda was at the top of the podium at the end of all three races at Snetterton, but this time Ryuichi Kiyonari was the Honda rider to finish in first. Kiyo beat out Tommy Hill and Michael Laverty in a close race three.

"It has been a hard weekend and we had been struggling with the setting but we have worked between the sessions to solve this and we are getting better all the time and I think the championship is looking good again now," Kiyo said.

Kiyonari's teammate, Josh Brookes, who won the first two races at Snetterton, looked like he was going to make it three in a row. But Brookes was forced to retire on the 12th lap due to a mechanical error. Brookes' retirement drops him back down to second place behind Tommy Hill.

Kiyonari's victory at Sneterton moves him into third place behind Hill and Brookes. Michael Laverty and Michael Rutter maintain their top 6 positions in 4th and 5th.

Alastair Seeley drops out of the top six, and is replaced by John Laverty.
