Castrol Honda’s Kirk McCarthy maintained a 12-point lead at the head of the British Supersport championship table with a hard-earned second place in today’s third round encounter at Snetterton.

Starting from third place on the grid, McCarthy spent the early laps involved in a fierce battle for second with Frost, McGuinness and the Suzuki-mounted pairing of Karl Harris and Paul Young. By lap nine, however, McCarthy had made the position his own and was able to hold off the hard-charging Frost to the flag.

"That was a fight," said the 31-year-old after the 20-lap affair around the 1.952-mile Norfolk circuit. "I was too busy in my own battle to think about Llewellyn who had gone. After I passed Frost I tried to make a break but missed a gear and couldn’t get away. Apart from that I had no real problems because the Honda CBR is working really well now that the front-end chatter has gone. I’ll be looking forward to Oulton Park next week."
