MCBAIN WINS IN CANADA
05 July 2005 - Suzuki Racing

Clint McBain completed a clean sweep at Race City Motorsport Park by winning the Parts Canada Superbike Championship double header in Calgary at the weekend.

In a near repeat of his victory in Saturday''s opening race, the 32-year-old series veteran put his Blackfoot Suzuki GSX-R1000 into the lead from the start and proceeded to dominate the 18-lap race around the 3.2km Race City road course.

Jordan Szoke finished second on his Fast Company Honda CBR1000RR, 3.024 seconds behind with Francis Martin third on the Snobgirls / Laval Moto Suzuki GSX-R1000 after a fierce battle with Szoke.

''Today was a big relief,'' said McBain, who clinched his first Canadian Superbike Championship event. ''It was time I got to the front. I proved I could do it and I did it in style.''

The win gave McBain the lead in the series after three of eight races. He now has 139 points to the 134 of Martin.

Although McBain was a little slow off the line he had the lead by the time the field hit turn one and by the end of the opening lap, was almost a second clear of the pack.

Behind McBain a fierce three-way battle was waged for second between Szoke, Martin and the second Blackfoot Suzuki GSX-R1000 of Kevin Lacombe.
