8Ten Racing’s Davey Todd said the path🅰 his Saturday had followed at the North West 200 had “been eating away at me” before winning the second Superstock race of the week.

Todd was leading the first Superbike race of the day, a class he was victorious in for thꦕe first time in his career on Thursday, when he suffered a technical issue that saw him caught by 20 seconds by Michael Dunlop, who made two mistakesไ on the first lap.

Todd, as well as🌳 his 8Ten Racing teammate Peter Hickman, was also frustrated after the Superbike race at the decision to not penalise Dunlop for not stopping when he cut Mather’s chicane on the first lap, handing their fellow BMW rider, who won his first race in nine years at the Causeway Coast 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:road race on Thursday, victory.

Afterwards, in Supersport Race 2, Todd suffered another technical issue 𒁏on his Padgett’s Honda CBR600RR and was unable to maintain podium contention.

The reigning National Superstock Champion said after emerging victorious from Superstock Race 2 that he was “fire✅d up” by the way his Saturday had gone up to the Superstock race.

“I’vꦍe been pretty fired up after🌃 how today’s gone,” said Todd, speaking in his post-race interview with BBC Sport NI.

“[The Superbike race] has been eating away at me. Then I had a little technical ꩲissue in the Supersport race and it’s just been working me up a little bit.

“Just not had the best of luck this time here, but the 8Ten R🥂acing boys have done a fantastic job in such a short space of time to put these bikes 𒁃together.

“Literally every session out we🅺’re trying to test new things because we’ve had no testing, and I’ve just got to give it up to them, they’ve done a fantastic job and again we’ve got both our bikes on the podium. Re🌺ally stoked with that.”

Todd said he had enjoyed the racing in Saturday’s Superstock race, in which he mostly battled Honda’s 🌟Dean Harrison.

“T😼here’s some great racing out there with Dean [Harrison] a෴s well,” he said.

“It’s always great to battle wit🌟h Dean, i༺t’s always hard but fair.

“The Honda’s got some speed on the back stra🧜ight, every time Dean came by me he about pulled all the stickers off the side of the bike and actuall꧂y scared me when he came by.

“Reall🗹y stoked I managed to get the win. I feel like Superstock’s always my stronges𓄧t class.”
