Motorsport: Swanson recovers to take podium place

Declan Swanton has moved in to second place in the British Junior Superstock Championship after finishing third in the sixth round event at Thruxton.

In the qualifying sessions, the Cork rider gave a strong performance for a front row slot but it went horribly wrong on the next session when he fell off at 120 mph. That meant he had to start the race on the fourth row - in 13th place. In between, his team worked against the clock but still managed to have his Yamaha R6 fully repaired in time for the race.
