Ian Hutchinson was back on the National Superstock grid at last weekend’s Oulton Park BSB, and the 16-ౠtime TT winner admitted that he still gets “suckered in” by his competitive desire to race at the short circuit meeting𒈔s.

Hutchinson finished 10th in the only scheduled Superstock r♓ace, a solid result for a rider who has not raced at British Champ🌄ionship level for three years.

Qualifying 15th, he dropped back off the start, but reached ninth place before dr🅘opping back to 10th on t🐬he final lap.

“It’s been good,” Hutchinson ꧒said of the Oulton Park weekend, speaking to ltxcn.top.

“Obviously, everything has been late with getting t🧸he new bike, but it’s [racing Superstock] a good thing for us to do.

“I went a little b👍it slower in qualifying than I did in practice, which I wasn’t expecting to do so I was further back on the grid.

“I think the end result was 𝔉good for what we need for ꦡthe roads.

“I get a bit suckered in 🍸and I really still want to race🦩 here, I love it. But I haven’t done a race start in British Championship since 2022.

“So I was bad off the linওe, then getting passed by loads [of riders] into turn oꦬne; I think I was 20th on lap one, [and] I got back to ninth.

“The𝔉n I thought there was ano♛ther lap left but there wasn’t, so I got passed into the last corner and I didn’t block it at all because I thought there was another lap left.

“But to finish 10th, it was a good st🐓arting point for us fro🉐m where I was last year.”

Hutchinson, and teammate Mike Browne, will head to the North West 200 this week with the MLav Racing team for the first 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:road racing e𝄹vent for the team put together bღy Michael Laverty.
