AFTER several false starts this season Astwood Bank biker Andy Tinsley finally roared back to form in the Superstocks championship at the weekend.

Knotts Motorcycles ace Tinsley has been dogged by mechanical problems since starting the superbikes season on a new GSXR 1000 Suzuki.

After a string of top ten finishes last year, Tinsley has limped home way off the pace consistently in the opening rounds, adding to his sponsorship worries.

But after switching tyre makes before the weekend he was back to his old form with an eighth place finish at Brands Hatch.

And now the Tin Man is waiting to get back on the circuit at Thruxton on Sunday, July 1.
