BARRY Rudge remains fifth in the CB500 Superclub Championship after a good first outing at Castle Combe.
Heading to the Wiltshire track for the first time, the motorcycle paramedic from St Peter’s, Worcester, qualified sixth on the grid.
The sun emerged for a dry first race and Rudge was quickly involved in a three-way battle to clinch third position.
He pressurised championship leader Tom Young into a mistake on the final lap and swooped to take fourth spot.
In the second race, Rudge managed to pass through a crash after a reasonable start and went on to claim fourth again.
The rider is leading the club championship and hopes to tie up the title in the penultimate meeting at Snetterton this weekend.
