MUGGERIDGE SECOND AT BRANDS
Dexdirect-sponsored World Supersport rider Karl Muggeridge claimed his second podium place of the season at a sell-out Brands Hatch circuit.
The Australian rider, who qualified on pole, held second place for much of the race, but had to battle back after dropping down to fourth place on the eighth lap.
But in a thrilling final lap, which saw the lead change several times, Muggeridge passed Kawasaki rider Ian Macpherson to finish second - a stunning result for the privateer G Ten Kate team.
Muggeridge said:”I’m very happy with this second place. The bike and the tyres were the best I ever had - the new Pirellis worked really well”.

It was a long hard race - a track temperature of 45°C meant the boys had to ride to conserve their tyres.
