Not since the hey day of the Late Mark and Stephen Farmer, has the name Farmer led an Irish Championship in Motorcycling, but yesterday, Younger cousin, Keith Farmer put an end to that, as he took over the lead in the P&O SUPERMOTO CHAMPIONSHIP, when he dominated the Lakelands Event at St Angeleo.
Having won his heat, Keith went on to dominate both Grade A finals, leaving behind him, last years champin, David McKee, Moto GP star, Jeremy McWilliams and TAS star Adam Lyons.
In the quads, Chris Thompson moved into the lead after a brace of seconds to english visitor, Mark Turner. evergreen Jimmy Gately is 2nd in the championship with C McCarten in 3rd, but yesterdays double winner, Mark Turner has indicated that he will contest the remaining rounds, so this will be interesting.
Next round is at Kirkistown in a fortnights time.
