2019 Ulster GP: Elkin bags Supertwins win

2019 Ulster GP: Elkin bags Supertwins win

For the second time in three days, the Supertwins class at the Ulster Grand Prix served up a thrilling race as Christian Elkin and Joseph Loughlin disputed the win throughout the five laps but on the sprint to the line it was former double 125cc British Champion Elkin that came out on top on the Dynobike Kawasaki by 0.078s!

The duo seized control from the outset and it was Loughlin who held the advantage on the Team ILR/Mark Coverdale Paton at the end of the first lap by 0.269s as Lee Johnston slotted into third on the Ashcourt Racing/KMR Kawasaki. Meanwhile, a three-way dice for fourth was taking place between Thursday’s winner Paul Jordan, Jamie Coward and Ian Lougher.

Loughlin added a tenth of a second to his lead on the second lap but on the third lap around the 7.4-mile Dundrod circuit, Elkin hit the front at Pullitt’s Gate and he held sway by 0.174s as they headed into the penultimate lap. Johnston remained in third but a charging Coward had left Jordan and Lougher behind as he began to close in on the Northern Irishman.

Elkin lapped at 115.700mph on lap four to extend his advantage to more than half a second but the fifth and final lap saw him and Loughlin exchange the lead on numerous occasions. The latter led going into the hairpin only for Elkin to ride round the outside of him at the Flowbog Crossroads and although a backmarker on the run in to the line gave Loughlin a chance, Elkin grabbed his fourth UGP win by just 0.078s as Loughlin took his second successive runners-up spot.

Johnston upped his pace in the closing stages to see off Coward, who had the consolation of setting the fastest lap of the race, with Jordan just getting the better of veteran Lougher for fifth. Michael Sweeney, Jonathan Perry, Ryan Gibson and James Chawke completed the top ten.
