Maiden victory for Reid at Oulton Park
The Jordanstown rider was within yards of making it a memorable double during Sunday’s feature race, but came off yards from the finish line, leaving him battered and bruised and nursing a wrist injury.
In Saturday’s 12-lap Sprint Race, the Team Traction Control Yamaha rider was as low as fifth place at one stage, but regained his composure to take a memorable win, setting a lap record in the process.

Andy led for the majority of Sunday’s 15-lap feature race, and after taking the lead at the final corner, team owner Keith Flint was already celebrating what would have been a second victory.
But just as he was approaching the finish line, Andy was flipped from his bike with the chequered flag in sight.
Although the second race was frustrating for the Jordanstown rider, he is still focussing on the positives from the weekend.
