Triumph ends the World Supersport Championship on the Podium!

ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing ended the World Supersport Championship on the podium.
Garry McCoy confirmed that "Old hens make the best soup".  The Australian took third place, as he did at Donington, in a brilliant race during which he fought and defeated the new World Champion, Cal Crutchlow, after a great battle.  The second podium in Triumph's history in World Supersport has a special meaning, and is the perfect ending of a fantastic season for Giuliano Rovelli's BE1 team.

Thanks to this excellent season finale, ParkinGO Triumph BE1 Racing climbed up two spots in the manufacturers' standings where they finished fifth, while Garry McCoy finished eighth in the riders' standings.

GARRY McCOY |  Triumph Daytona 675 |  3rd: "I'm really happy to have ended the season in style, with a second podium result in the team's young history.  We did a great job this weekend, the bike was just perfect so I could give 100%. I got a good start and I was fifth at the end of the first lap, and I kept that position into the fourth, when Lascorz, who was in front of me, crashed. I then overtook Crutchlow after three more laps. He was really close behind me for a while then I opened a gap between the two of us of about two seconds and kept it until the checkered flag. I want to thank the entire team for a great job done this season. We got better everytime and we did all this together."

GIULIANO ROVELLI - TEAM MANAGER: "It was a fantastic way of ending the season: with a podium. We worked hard, we improved the bike so much that we got twice on the podium and scored many great results as well.  I have to thank Garry McCoy who proved that the entire squad lead by Lucio Nicastro did a marvellous job."
