The 18 year old from Etchilhampton near Devizes in Wiltshire had to overcome his lack of knowledge of the track and the cold weather which affected his leg to score points for the second time this season and following on from four wild card riders in front of him, Tommy ended up in ninth place points overall.
Speaking afterwards he said: "I was a little nervous coming into the race, and I really struggled in practice but it wasn't too bad in the race. My main problem was adapting back to the bike after a couple of races on the superbike and that's something I need to work on. Overall I'm happy with the result on my return but I need to be challenging much higher up the order as there's no point wobbling around in the lower leaderboard places. We'll see how we go at Misano in two weeks time and hopefully, things will go better for us."
After the race in Misano in Italy, Tommy will return to the Italian Superbike Championship at the same track on July 27th.
