From a press release issued by MonsterMob Ducati:

British Superbike Championship – Round 4 – Oulton Park, Cheshire – Monday May 5th 2003

TEAM MONSTERMOB HOPING TO CONTINUE WINNING WAYS

Following on from a superb hat-trick of victories last time out at Thruxton, the MonsterMob Ducati pairing of Superbike star Shane Byrne and defending Supersport champion Stuart Easton head for round four of their respective championships at Oulton Park this Mayday Bank Holiday determined to repeat the feat.

26 year old Byrne extended his lead at the top of the series to 41 points with his first ever BSB double and sees no reason why that form cannot continue into the Ducati-friendly Cheshire circuit this weekend:

“I’ve got the strongest package in the paddock at present and I’m aiming to repeat what I did at Thruxton. I’m surprised that I’ve had it relatively easy so far and hopefully we can continue our dominance but I know that it will get tougher as the season progresses. The team is good, the bike is fantastic and I’ve no worries whatsoever” said the laid back Londoner who jetted out to France for a week’s holiday after his Thruxton success.

Also planning on repeating his Thruxton dominance is 18 year old Easton who decimated the opposition with a start to finish Supersport win over Easter and the young Scot is still fired up following some remarks earlier in the season that cast aspersions on his ability to defend his title aboard the ageing 748 Ducati.

“I proved a point at Thruxton and made some people eat their words. Just because I’ve done that doesn’t mean I’ll be backing off at Oulton, it’s one of my favourite tracks and the Ducati will be awesome there. Anything less than a win and I’ll be extremely disappointed” said the Hawick ace who as a result, now lies second in the standings.

Team owner Paul Bird has the added pressure of Oulton Park being his and his sponsor MonsterMob’s local track but he’s confident his team can put on another great show for the dozens of guests:

“We’re riding high at the moment and we need to ram home our advantage whilst we’re in the driving seat and I see no reason why we can’t do that again this weekend. I’ve never had a treble at Oulton so now would be as good a time as any” said the Penrith businessman.
