Guy Martin made the most of the�𒉰� festive break as the Lincolnshire road racer clocked up some miles at the infamous Cemetery Circuit in Wanganui in New Zealand.

The Tyco Suzuki star, whose new four-part TV series 'Speed with Guy Martin' is currently showing on Channel 4, claimed a podium finish on a Manx Norton in the Classic races at the ✱final round of the Suzuki-Tri-Series Championship on Boxing Day.

Martin also competed in the F1 and Robert Holdꩵen Memorial classes aboard a Suzuki New Zealand-supported GSX-R1000, securing a brace of sixth place finishes.

"This is mega," Martin said. "I'm not bothered where I ride motorbikes - I just want to ride them - but to come to New Zealand and do the Cemetery Circuit onꦆ Boxing Day... I just love it."

Martin is visiting friends in New Zealand and is also training for upcoming mountain bike races prior to the beginning of th🔜e new road raꩵcing season.

He has signed for a fourth successive year with Northern Ireland team TAS Racing and is joined by top Ulster🧔 racer William Dunlop in 2014 in the blue and white Tyco Suzuki livery.

Las🎃t year, Martin claimed a treble at the Ulster Grand Prix and lifted the Solo Championship title at the Southern 100, although a coveted Isle of Man TT success continues to elude him.
