Race 1: Blasting into the first corner of the start, Holmes was positioned in 3rd but by the time the pack had reached the end of lap 1, Holmes was out front and gapping the field. At the half way point in the race Holmes had pulled a 15 second lead and continued to ride his own race out front eventually crossing the line 28 seconds over 2nd place.

Race 2: Pushing for another win, Holmes grabbed the Holeshot and repeated what he did in race 1 by pulling away from the field, setting the fastest laps of the race and claimed another impressive victory.

Keeping his 100% win record flowing, Holmes walked away from round 5 of the championship 68 points clear at the top of the points table and moves one step closer to becoming the 2012 British Champion.

Holmes commented after the day's action: "I am really pleased with how good today has gone! Winning the qualification and both races is a dream day, I couldn't have asked for anything more! My starts have been good and my practicing is paying off as I grabbed the 2nd race holeshot which really put a smile on my face. I feel one step closer now to the Championship but I am trying not to think about it too much, I just want to continue riding well and keep adding up the points. I would like to thank the team and all the supporters this weekend, This track is a pleasure to race and we got the set-up almost perfect which is awesome. Once again a shout out has to go to my brilliant sponsors because without their support I wouldn't be able to be here on the top step of the podium, Thanks"
