CAL CRUTCHLOW has said he's "ecstatic" after winning both rounds of the Silverstone leg of the 2010 World Superbike Championship.
Crutchlow, the reigning World Supersport Champion, battled his way to a brace of wins at the redeveloped Northamptonshire circuit, following his victory in Saturday's Superpole.
British riders dominated the weekend's action, with an all-Brit podium in both of Sunday's races.
Speaking after Race Two, Crutchlow said:
˝We´ve been trying so hard all year to achieve a win, I´m ecstatic that it has happened at my home race. It´s been a tough weekend with all the Brits trying hard but we knew we had the pace. We were worried about tyre wear but it wasn´t too bad. It was a little bit cooler in the first race which helped our bike as well.
"We now need to carry on and fight for the rest of the season. It´s been a dream come true today, three Brits on the podium for both races is brilliant. The British fans have been fantastic, they came out today and gave us tremendous support all round the circuit, a brilliant day for me, a brilliant day for Yamaha, Sterilgarda and all our other sponsors. All credit to Johnny Rea he rode really well in both races but I was able to pick him off with a couple of laps to go.˝
