Todd cleans up at 2022 Armoy Road Races

Davey Todd cleaned up at the 2022 Armoy Road Races with four wins and a new lap record.

The Milenco by Padgetts Honda rider won both of the Supersport and both the Superbike races including the feature Race Of Legends.

He opened his account winning the Supersport race that was carried on from Friday evening when it was postponed due to the wet weather. It wasn’t all plain sailing as Darryl Tweed who started in the second group took full advantage of the clear road in front of him and edged into the lead on corrected time. Todd upped the pace in the final lap to take the win by just 0.315 seconds ahead of Tweed aboard his Wilson Craig Honda.
