Meanwhile Michael Rutter, who is returning to the Isle of Man TT after a seven year absence, believes he could face a tough time around the Mountain Circuit.
Rutter, who has one TT win to his name, managed two third places for the ISILON MSS Discovery Kawasaki team in the Superbike and Supersport classes at the North West.
The 34-year-old had taken pole for the Superbike race, but admitted he knew he would struggle.
Rutter said:
‘Despite pole position, I didn’t expect the podium on the Superbike to be honest, as we were a bit down on speed and it was hard work as everyone out there was on it, but we’ll take the results!’
Looking ahead to the TT, Rutter added:
‘On the positive side, the handling on both bikes is fantastic – we just need that bit more mid-range. Looking forward to the Isle of Man, this deficiency could prove tough, but, then again, with the break-neck pace of races in the BSB and now the North West, we’ve not had time to address them.’‘ Hopefully we can now. The whole team deserves these rostrums.’
