KIRMINGTON motorcycle rider Guy Martin continued his fine start to the new season with another victory – at the Cookstown 100 road race.
The speedster had already won the Scarborough Spring Cup when he travelled to Northern Ireland at the weekend for the event.
And the Tyco Suzuki rider was at it again, storming to victory in Saturday's Supersport race ahead of McAdoo Racing Honda's Michael Dunlop and Ian Bell Yamaha's Dean Harrison.
The 31-year-old then kept his 100 per cent podium record intact for 2013 with a pair of second placed finishes to Dunlop in the Open and Superbike encounters at the County Tyrone venue.
Martin said: "I knew I was comfortable in the Supersport race when I saw 'Plus Four' on my pitboard, but probably backed off a bit too much and let Dunlop back into the race, what with slowing down and a bit of a mistake.
"He's a good old boy and we had a good race but he did hit me on the last lap. I'm just glad I was able to hang in for the win. In that last Superbike race I really couldn't have given any more.
"I think I led for four laps and I also went under my old lap record, but I can't knock the man – I was just beaten by a better rider on the day.
"We have a few things we want to try before the North West event."
