Parkalgar Honda's new signing Sam Lowes scored a podium result on his debut for the team as he gears up for the 2011 World Supersport championship. Lowes was competing in the end-of-season races in Northern Ireland at the Bishopscourt circuit.
Lowes led much of the opening race but a last lap mistake allowed circuit specialist Marshall Neill on another Honda to just take the honours. In the second race of the day Lowes was forced to retire, while up against Superbikes in the Sunflower race he finished an excellent eighth and was the first 600 home.
"What a start with the team," declared Lowes. "It is different in a lots of areas to what I am used to and in a very good way. I have got to know Phil Marron my crew chief and the Parkalgar Honda - there is so much potential here and I can't wait to get back out. This is a mega start and I am really happy with everything."
