ELVINGTON motorbike ace Sam Holme is currently sixth in class after five rounds of the Thundersport GB Sportsman Elite 600cc series.

Buoyed by his performances in the televised fourth round at Cadwell Park, Holme secured two fourth place finishes and a third in three races at Mallory Park in Leicestershire.

The next round of the series takes place at Rockingham in Northamptonshire on July 29 and 30.

Reflecting on his performance, Holme said: "I made good progress in the early laps (Race One) and I was on course for my first podium of the year before I made a mistake in the latter part of the race.

"I came back to finish twelfth overall and fourth in class but it was definitely a 'podium' thrown away.

"The potential and the speed is there, that’s the main thing." he added. "If I can cut out the small mistakes in the next round at Rockingham we’ll be up there and bringing home silverware."

Holme thanked 'Craig' at CMB Motorsport for maintaining and preparing his bike along with sponsors Reactive Suspension, Harris Irwin Architects and Design, Elvington Park, York Digital Image, Smarter Paint, Blue Haze Engineering, Catton Village Motors and MPS Racing.
