Tyco Suzuki's Guy Martin has played down his expectations for this weekend's Cookstown 100 following his clean sweep at the Spring Cup but says he would like to keep hold of his lap record.
The Lincolnshire rider was unstoppable at Oliver's Mount but will have the Dunlop brothers to deal with in the meeting's Supersport races. Martin will also contest the Superbike races.
“Yeah I've only good things to say about the Cookstown 100. It’s a well run event and the fans are mad for it. For me it doesn’t really matter what the weather is doing, but for the boys behind the hedges and organisers, I know they’d rather have it proper dry for a good day’s racing. I can deal with that," said Martin.
“They always put out a top class field of riders at Cookstown, and with the two Dunlops on the grid, it should be a right good meeting. Yeah it’s maybe regarded as a run out before the North West and we can say the results don’t matter, but I’ve still got the lap record and I’d like to keep hold of that. And I’m sure the Dunlops wont be messing around – so we’ll certainly have a go.”
