Shane Byrne returned to the top of the British Superbike standings with a Snetteron double on Sunday.

Byrne hadn't won a race since the opening round at Donington but set the record straight in style when the championship resumed after a five-week break.

The defending took the opening race from Josh Brookes by 2.685sec, with Jason O'Halloran third.

Race two saw a repeat podium, only this time Byrne was even more dominant as he came home 4.676 clear of his title rival.

Byrne leads Brookes 151-134 after four rounds of the championship.

He said: "The weekend feels pretty good with these two wins.

"We had a problem in the first race with the bike thinking that it was changing gear when it was not – that race was actually a lot harder than it looked because of that.

"I had to be careful to keep a good pace and rhythm and bring the bike home to win.

"The guys fixed the bike and it was faultless in the second race and I never looked back."
